Call for Fellowship Applications
The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), in cooperation with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (PA2F) and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), is launching its IASC Fellowships Program 2024.
The application deadline is on 18 October at 13:00 GMT.
The IASC Fellowship Program is meant to engage early career researchers in the work of the five IASC Working Groups (WGs):
- Atmosphere WG (AWG),
- Cryosphere WG (CWG),
- Marine WG (MWG),
- Social & Human WG (SHWG)
- Terrestrial Terrestrial (TWG)
In addition to the work in the IASC Working Groups, the Fellows will also be engaged in the work of the Research Priority Teams for the 4th International Conference on Arctic Research Planning Process (ICARP IV).
For the 10th anniversary year of the IASC Fellowship Program in 2024 we will offer 10 IASC Fellowships. As part of the Polar Initiative with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, three of those Fellowships will be generously funded by the Foundation.
- one regular IASC Fellow will be selected per IASC WG (5 Fellowships in total)
- one IASC Indigenous Fellow will be selected; this individual will be an early career Arctic Indigenous Scholar or Knowledge Holder who can choose which IASC WG to engage in. The IASC Indigenous Fellows will also join the new IASC Standing Committee on Indigenous Involvement that will commence its work in the first half of 2024.
- three IASC-PA2F Fellows will be selected who can choose which IASC WG to engage in.
Another fellowship will be offered via the IASC-ROADS Fellowship which has a separate application process. The Sustaining Arctic Observing Network (SAON) has initiated the Roadmap for Arctic Observing and Data Systems (ROADS) as a planning framework to support its national and organizational partners. In partnership with IASC these efforts are offering an IASC-ROADS Fellowship to support an early career researcher to get more involved in the work of SAON-ROADS.
IASC Fellows are doctoral or postdoctoral researchers who actively participate in selected activities of the IASC WGs. Fellows are expected to contribute scientifically and also to help organize specific activities and to help with reporting to the IASC Secretariat. Thus, the Fellowship Program provides the opportunity for early career researchers to become involved in leading-edge scientific activities at a circum-Arctic and international level, to build an international network, and also to develop management skills. The level of involvement very much depends on the Fellow's interest - the more you invest, the more you get out of it!
The total duration of the IASC Fellowship Program is 1+2 years. During their first year, the Fellows will receive travel support to attend two consecutive Arctic Science Summit Weeks (ASSWs) where the annual IASC WG meetings are held. After this year, Fellows have the opportunity to stay involved for up to two more years without dedicated funding support from IASC. Note: the travel support during the first Fellowship year is the only financial remuneration for the Fellows. Salary is not included during the Fellowship.
For more information on the IASC Fellowships please see the IASC website or contact the IASC Secretariat or the IASC Fellowship Coordinator Stanislav Ksenofontov, or the APECS Office.
The application and selection process for the IASC Fellowships 2024 is coordinated by the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) in cooperation with IASC.
