The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) Working Group of the Arctic Council, in cooperation with the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), announce the IASC Fellowship Program 2020 and the CAFF-IASC Science-Policy Fellowships.

The IASC Fellowship Program is meant to engage early career scientists in the work of the IASC Working Groups (WGs): Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social & Human, and Terrestrial. Each year, one Fellow per WG is chosen, five IASC Fellows in total.

The CAFF-IASC Science-Policy Fellowships were created to help early- to mid-career professionals build experience and advance understanding of the science-policy interface. The search committee is looking for two CAFF-IASC Fellows. This year's Fellows will work with the Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI) and the Coastal Ecosystem Steering Group (CEMG) of the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP). In cooperation with CAFF and IASC, Fellows will identify a joint area of interest and expertise, participate in and contribute to CAFF’s work, and produce a culminating deliverable to enrich decision-making in their chosen field.

An open conference call, with IASC representatives and past Fellows available to answer questions, will take place on Friday, 15 November 2019, 10:00-11:00 a.m. Central European Time. Registration is required and is available online at https://zoom.us/meeting/register/58e5be4282cdf55e4ac87b605f06faf5. More information on the IASC Fellowship Programs can be found by watching a webinar available in the APECS Archive at https://vimeo.com/301437769. Those located in North America, where the webinar time is not ideal, can contact IASC Fellowships Coordinator and/or the IASC Secretariat individually with any questions.
