Past Events
Join us for a panel discussion on how to build an inclusive fieldwork environment and equip yourself for navigating potential power imbalances prior to heading to the Arctic this summer. Learn from an array of panelists who have ‘been there, done that’ and learned a lot along the way about what contributes to a positive fieldwork experience, and how to work towards that prior to stepping foot in the Arctic.
Panelists for the event include:
Wanting to know more about non-tenure track faculty jobs and what opportunities exist for polar scientists beyond academia? The Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) has put together its first panel to discuss opportunities beyond academia for polar scientists. What you learn here will absolutely be transferrable to jobs outside of polar science too, so be sure to spread word of this event far and wide!
The Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) is seeking enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers to join an organizing team to help plan and steer the activities of the 2023 Polar Postdoctoral Leadership Workshop (PPLW) – happening in/near Boulder, Colorado, May 15 to 19, 2023. The workshop will bring 20 US-based postdoctoral researchers studying Antarctic and Arctic topics together from across the country to activate leadership skills that they can bring into their future careers.
Are you a polar scientist wanting to learn more about where you can find and access polar data to use in your research or teaching? Learn about where you can find and how you can access Antarctic and Arctic data in this Polar Data Accessibility Webinar taking place on Thursday, November 10th from 11am to 12pm MST. The webinar will feature short overviews of data resources from:
