now comprising more than 4,000 members from 75 countries, including
students, postdoctoral researchers, early faculty members, educators,
and others with interests in polar and alpine regions and the
cryosphere. In collaboration with international organizations leading
polar researchers, educators, and funding agencies, APECS aims to
enhance career development opportunities, stimulate research
collaborations, and provide effective development of future leaders in
polar research, education, and outreach to give a continuum of knowledge
for generations to come.
The APECS Directorate is based at the University of Tromso, Norway, in a
vibrant environment with other secretariats and lots of polar
researchers. The appointment will be until 31 December 2014 with the
possibility of an extension. As the fulltime employee of APECS, the
director is tasked with guiding the development and administration of

22. RESEARCH ASSOCIATE, The Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution
(CanSISE) Network
British Columbia, Canada
A Research Associate position is available for a highly qualified
individual to support CanSISE network investigators located in BC,
facilitating collaboration between university, EC and PCIC scientists
and integration across the network.
In collaboration with other network investigators, the incumbent will
perform and publish research that meets network objectives and provide
research support to the network. Duties will include:
? Detection and attribution research to identify the causes of observed
sea-ice and snow changes
? Research to detect, and if appropriate attribute, observed changes in
the hydrology of the western Canadian cordillera. This will include an
intercomparison of downscaling techniques, the construction of ensembles
of hydrologic simulations driven with such downscaled products, and
their application for detection and attribution.
? Preparation of observed sea-ice extent data and corresponding
multi-model output from the CMIP5 archive and other sources for use in
detection and attribution analysis
? Assistance with the construction and assembly of large CanESM and
CCSM4 Earth system model ensemble simulations
? Assistance with data management.

24. Multiple Positions Available, Canadian Arctic Atmospheric Research,
Various Canadian Institutions
A variety of opportunities are available for a project operating in
association with the NSERC CREATE Training Program in Arctic Atmospheric
Science (CREATEAAS). Using measurements from the Polar Environment
Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) at Eureka, Nunavut, and
measurements from other sites around the Arctic and the rest of the
globe, the Probing the Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA) project will
investigate the atmosphere of the Canadian high Arctic.
The high Arctic is changing rapidly and these changes are important,
both within the region and as their influence propagates out to lower
latitudes. Postdoctoral fellows are needed for projects on composition
measurements (University of Toronto), clouds and aerosols (Universite de
Sherbrooke), the polar vortex (University of Saskatchewan), mesospheric
observations (University of New Brunswick), lidar measurements
(Dalhousie University), and satellite validation (University of
Toronto). Depending upon the development and interests of the candidates
and the PAHA project, there may be opportunity for fieldwork at PEARL.
This would entail working in the high Arctic in remote conditions far.
Review of applications is ongoing, and decisions will be made by 15 June
2013.
There are also opportunities for graduate students at both the MSc and
PhD levels for projects broadly similar to the postdoctoral positions.
Most graduate students associated with these projects have the
opportunity to work at PEARL and to participate in outreach activities
in the Arctic and Southern Canada in addition to their regular programs.
Additionally, the CREATE-AAS program has an undergraduate summer
internship program for Arctic Atmospheric Research.
Specifics on all opportunities, including application details, are
available. Click on the 'more' link under 'Applications invited for
CANDAC/CREATE post-doctoral positions' in the right-hand sidebar at:
