Sentinel North International PhD School: Shedding Light on Arctic Marine Ecosystem Services, July 12 to 24, 2018, Baffin Bay (Nunavut), Canada
Under the leadership of the Sentinel North program of Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada), the International Ph.D. School (IPS) provides international students with a unique opportunity to interact with high-profile scientists as part of a transdisciplinary and highly technological training program aiming to demystify the role of light in driving arctic marine food webs, ecosystems services, and human health in the North.
Taking place on board the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen deployed in Baffin Bay and the Fjords of Baffin Island, Nunavut (Canada), the Sentinel North International PhD School is a unique opportunity to participate in an ocean research program focusing on the links between light, marine ecosystem services and health in the North.
Participants will experience an exceptional transdisciplinary training, in close interaction with top scientists, in an highly technological environment.
Bringing together a wide range of disciplines such as optics, physical and biological oceanography, biochemistry and remote sensing, the school will focus on the following themes:
- The fundamental role of light in marine ecosystems
- The potential of light for the study of the changing Arctic
- Light-driven processes and Arctic marine ecosystem services
We encourage graduate students and postdoctoral fellows of all relevant fields of research to seize this opportunity.
The deadline to submit your application to the Sentinel North International PhD School is January 28, 2018.
