The Polar Research Board (PRB) of the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, serving as the U.S. National Committee to the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), invites nominations for U.S. delegates to two IASC working groups. One delegate will be selected to serve in the Cryosphere Working Group and a second delegate will serve in the Atmosphere Working Group.
The U.S. delegates to the IASC working groups serve as liaisons between the U.S. Arctic research community and international organizations and researchers. The U.S. delegates are expected to participate in the annual Arctic Science Summit week held each spring (https://iasc.info/assw/about-assw) and at least one other domestic meeting. Nominated individuals must be willing to commit significant time to the organization as a considerable amount of work occurs between annual meetings and withinin the various project work groups.
Nominees must have appropriate disciplinary expertise, current relevant scientific activity, be active in communicating with the scientific community, and have a demonstrated ability to function in a collaborative, international setting. Those selected must stay in close communication with the PRB, relevant federal agencies, and the science community so that he or she can accurately reflect U.S. interests at meetings.
Nominations of Indigenous scientists and those with an engineering background are encouraged and self-nominations are welcome.
