Organizers announce a call for applications for the Polar Prediction
School 2018. The course is open to early career scientists, including
advanced graduate students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers,
and will convene 17-27 April 2018 at the Abisko Scientific Research
Station in Sweden.
This school will include a combination of polar weather and climate
theory lectures with exercises on modeling, field meteorology
techniques, and soft skill training. Each of these components are a part
of the prediction problem and combining them will provide participants
with a more complete overview of the components required to understand
and predict polar weather.
Applications should include:
- A curriculum vitae of a maximum of two pages;
- An expression of interest letter, maximum of two pages, detailing the
applicant's research background and how it is relevant to the course,
reasons of interest in attending the course and how it can benefit the
applicant's research career; - Estimated travel costs to Abisko with note on whether applicant is
applying for travel support; - Indication of whether applicant's research project is funded by or in
part by the Advanced Prediction in Polar regions and beyond: modelling,
observing system design and LInkages associated with a Changing Arctic
climaTE (APPLICATE) project; and - Any additional information that may be relevant to the course or
application.
Registration for the Polar Prediction School 2018 includes all
accommodation, food, and other fees or costs at the station. Travel to
the station is not included in the registration fee. Limited support for
travel and registration costs may be available and will be distributed
to accepted participants.
Polar Prediction School 2018 is organized by the APPLICATE project, in
cooperation with the World Meteorological Organization's Polar
Prediction Project (PPP), the Association of Polar Early Career
Scientists (APECS), and other partners.
Application deadline: 15 September 2017.
