The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) Collaborations invites applications for team leadership positions from enthusiastic non-federal members of the Arctic research community who are excited about the activities outlined in the Arctic Research Plan and Implementation Plan. These virtual, part-time positions will be for at least two-year terms.

IARPC Collaborations are seeking applications for non-federal co-leads for the following new and multidisciplinary collaboration teams:

Priority Area Teams seeking applications:

  • Community Resilience and Health
  • Arctic Systems Interactions
  • Sustainable Economies and Livelihoods
  • Risk Management and Hazard Mitigation

Foundational Activity Teams seeking applications:

  • Data Management
  • Education, Training, and Capacity Building
  • Monitoring, Observing, Modeling, and Prediction
  • Participatory Research and Indigenous Leadership in Research (also seeking federal co-lead)
  • Technology Innovation and Application

Collaboration Team Co-leader Responsibilities:

  • Leading Arctic research community and multidisciplinary collaboration team in a thoughtful and inclusive way,
  • Regularly communicating and working in a collaborative way with fellow co-leads,
  • Acting as a resource and coordinator for team members’ questions and ideas on collaboration team activities,
  • Planning team activities for coming year,
  • Reaching out to potential speakers for team meetings and working with co-leads and IARPC Secretariat on meeting agendas and announcements,
  • Organizing and chairing collaboration team meetings,
  • Supporting reporting on collaboration team activities, and
  • Participating in annual team leader workshops.

Co-leads can expect to devote between 10 and 15 hours per month on average to their leadership role. IARPC asks applicants to be prepared to commit to serve at least two years as a co-lead. If there are unforeseen circumstances that require team leaders to step down before two years, IARPC requests they help find a replacement in discussion with the other co-leads. All those selected to be co-leads will be trained and on-boarded.

People from all career stages and from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply and the positions are open to be both non-U.S. and U.S. applicants.

To apply, email Meredith LaValley (meredith [at] iarpccollaborations.org) with the following information:

  • Name of collaboration team(s) you are applying to co-lead;
  • Brief statement of intent stating why you are applying for a leadership role, what you hope to gain from the leadership experience, and what you want to contribute to the team(s) you would like to lead; and
