The Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) program announces call
for nominations of three to four new Science Steering Committee (SSC)
members. Members serve a three-year term, with a maximum of two
consecutive terms. No more than two members may be based from non-U.S.
institutions.
SEARCH is a collaborative program of Arctic researchers, funding
agencies, and others that facilitates synthesis of Arctic science and
communicates our current understanding to help society respond to a
rapidly changing Arctic.
The SSC is comprised of 12-14 members. Three to four new members will be
selected to join the SEARCH SSC based on this nomination process.
Nominations of candidates that are broad and cross-disciplinary
thinkers, are good communicators and consensus-builders, and have a
strong commitment to the SEARCH vision (included at the end of this
solicitation) are encouraged. Nominations from all disciplines and
research backgrounds are welcome.
SSC members are expected to:
- Define and update the SEARCH vision and mission;
- Guide overall directions of SEARCH implementation;
- Promote and communicate SEARCH activities and plans;
- Provide a supervisory role for the SEARCH Executive Director;
- Work with the SEARCH Executive Director to establish strong linkages
and partnerships with other relevant programs, agencies, and
organizations; - Approve annual SEARCH work plans and reports; and
- Attend and be active participants in regular SSC meetings and working
groups.
The SSC has four regular meetings each year. In-person meetings are
typically held twice a year in June and December (travel support
provided).
Nominations should include the person's name, affiliation, contact
information, area of expertise, curriculum vitae or resume, and a brief
statement on why the person would be an asset to the SEARCH program.
Consent from the nominee must be obtained prior to nomination.
Self-nominations are welcome.
Nominations will be reviewed by the current SSC in June 2017.
Invitations to join the SSC will go out to selected candidates prior to
the committee's next regular meeting scheduled to take place in
September 2017.
