Sentinel North announces a new international Ph.D. school on the theme of Permafrost engineering applied to transportation infrastructure. Aimed at both graduate students and professionals, this advanced course will provide participants with state-of-the-art training supervised by internationally renowned professors and researchers. The location is not a coincidence, as Inuvik is located in particularly difficult terrain, rich in ice and thaw-sensitive permafrost, in the MacKenzie Delta. The course will allow to observe the characteristics of the Demptser and Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk highways and to understand the challenges of construction in the North in the best possible way.

Registrations are currently open to recruit a team of early career researchers and professionals in the field.

Applications will be assessed as they are received and decisions will be made on a rolling basis until April 15, 2019.

Candidates are strongly encouraged to submit their application now to benefit from the best rates.
