  1. University of Saskatchewan seeks Postdoctoral Fellow
    Comparative Economic Development in the Circumpolar North
    Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

The International Centre for Northern Governance and Development at the
University of Saskatchewan seeks applicants to a postdoctoral fellowship
in comparative economic development in the circumpolar north. The
position will be based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Research will focus on comparative economic development of boreal
regions the context of innovation, resilience, sustainability, and
adaptive governance. The successful candidate will be responsible for
directing a research program that meets the research needs of community
and government stakeholders, and will also contribute to the Centre's
Occasional Paper Series, develop funding proposals, and write articles
for publication in peer-reviewed journals. The position will also
participate in a short exchange to Sweden to collaborate with partners
at Umea University.

The candidate must have a PhD (or have a PhD defense date set) in
economics, public policy, sociology, political studies, geography,
environmental management, or a closely related field. Applicants will
provide evidence of internationally-recognized research capability, an
emerging publication record, and a demonstrable interest in
interdisciplinary research. Experience with GIS or spatial statistics
would be an asset.

Review of applications will begin Monday, 15 August 2011.
The position is open until filled.

  1. Three Positions Available
    Greenland Institute of Natural Resources
    Fish and Shellfish Population Dynamic and Assessment
    Nuuk, Greenland

The Department of Fish and Shellfish at the Greenland Institute of
Natural Resources seeks three senior scientists/scientists/statisticians
in the field of fish and shellfish population dynamic and assessment.
The position is based in Nuuk, Greenland.

Successful candidates are expected to participate in the research,
assessment, and monitoring of fish and shellfish stocks in Greenland's
waters, and to offer advice concerning the status and utilization of
fishery resources. The position will include data analyses with special
reference to analytical assessment, organization, and participation in
collecting data from scientific cruises and commercial fisheries.

Candidates must have a PhD or MSc in biology or applied statistics.
Experience in population dynamics, statistics and modeling, or fishery
biology is considered an asset.

  1. Multiple MSc, PhD, and Postdoctoral Positions Available
    Arctic Marine System Studies
    Centre for Earth Observation Science, University of Manitoba
    Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

The Centre for Earth Observation Science, in the Clayton H. Riddell
Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources at the University of
Manitoba, seeks a minimum of 30 new MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral students
to conduct research in a variety of arctic marine system studies in
various sectors of the Arctic, including Canada, Greenland, northern
Europe, Eurasia and Pacific.

The positions are part of a new partnership with the University of
Aarhus in Denmark and the Greenland Climate Research Centre. This
partnership has evolved from the successful application for a Canada
Excellence Research Chair in Arctic Geomicrobiology and Climate Change
(http://tinyurl.com/CERC-ArcGCC), a Canada Research Chair in Arctic
System Science (http://tinyurl.com/CRC-ArcSS), and an ongoing
partnership with ArcticNet, a Network of Centres of Excellence
(http://www.arcticnet.ulaval.ca).

Specifically, students are sought in each of the following areas:
- Atmospheric and oceanic forcing of sea ice dynamic and
thermodynamic processes (D. Barber, dbarber [at] cc.umanitoba.ca)
- Sea ice geomicrobiological processes and benthic-sea ice coupling
(S. Rysgaard, SoRy [at] natur.gl)
- Geochemistry and materials science in sea ice related processes
(N. Halden, halden [at] cc.umanitoba.ca)
- Carbon and contaminant cycling and process in arctic marine and
freshwater ecosystems (G. Stern, Gary.Stern [at] DFO-MPO.GC.CA)
- Arctic physical oceanography and linkages to physical forcing of
the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere (OSA) interface (I. Dmitrenko,
idmitrenko [at] ifm-geomar.de)
- Trace elements, contaminant pathways, and mercury deposition
(F. Wang, wangf [at] ms.umanitoba.ca)
- Air-sea and air-sea ice exchange of trace gases and energy, with
linkages to surface ocean and sea ice biophysical and biogeochemical
processes and properties (T. Papakyriakou, papakyri [at] cc.umanitoba.ca)
- Arctic geochemistry and inorganic processes linking freshwater and
marine systems (Z. Kuzyk, Zou_zou.Kuzyk [at] ete.inrs.ca)
- Solar radiation interactions with the sea ice environment,
linkages to physical and biological processes governing sea ice
formation, evolution, and melt (J. Ehn, jehn [at] ucsd.edu)
- Biological and physical processes controlling the timing,
magnitude, location, and fate of ice and ocean primary production
(C.J. Mundy, CJ_Mundy [at] umanitoba.ca)

Interested candidates should send a letter of intent and curriculum
vitae directly to the faculty member listed with their project of
interest. General inquiries can be sent to David G. Barber
(dbarber [at] cc.umanitoba.ca). Successful candidates will become part of a
globally unique multimillion-dollar research program using state of the
art instrumentation, various ocean going vessels, and several field
research camps around the circumpolar Arctic.
