Association of Polar Early Career Scientists

As you may be aware, APECS is currently in the process of hiring a new Director for the APECS International Directorate office in Tromsø, Norway, and there should be exciting news forthcoming on that front next month. Right now, though, I want to draw your attention to something else that makes APECS such a special organization: the leadership and training opportunities available to early career researchers through the APECS leadership.

It’s that time of year again, when you can put your name forward to help “shape the future of polar research.” Yes, that’s the APECS slogan, but it’s also really what happens as part of APECS. We are encouraging any and all interested APECS members to step up and play a role in determining, executing, and sustaining the APECS resources, events, and programs for the coming year as part of the Executive Committee (ExCom) and the Council. Don’t be fooled by the stodgy names – these are dynamic groups looking for enthusiastic people ready to really get involved, learn and work with peers, and make things happen. If you’re not sure where to begin – just ask us and we’ll help you to figure it out!

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Until then, I’m looking forward to seeing your applications flowing in!

Elections Coordinator, 2013-4
ExCom Ex-Officio, 2012-2013
Past President, 2010-2011
