To students and other early-career polar scientists:
The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS, www.apecs.is)
is exactly what the name says: an international organization of over
3,000 undergrads, grad students, post-docs, early faculty members, and
others from over 76 countries interested in Polar and cryospheric
sciences. APECS provides members with unparalleled guidance in career
development. Further, the group is committed to education and outreach,
as well as to knowledge-sharing in the greater Polar Science community.
While APECS has committees in many countries (see http://www.apecs.is/national-committees),
there is currently no active chapter in the U.S. We have identified a
need for a regional chapter in the Northeast so that we can create a
local community and facilitate knowledge sharing, through both
structured interactions at conferences as well as informal gatherings at
restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. We hope to provide a platform
upon which to grow an active committee, which would provide resources
for members to: develop writing and presentation skills, engage in
community outreach/education, receive scientific or career guidance from
established scientist "mentors," find funding sources, and share
research! We'd also like to hear what resources, interactions, and
opportunities you're interested in, so if you have ideas or want to get
more involved in making this group happen, please email Alexandra Giese:
alexandra.l.giese.gr@dartmouth.edu or Christie Wood: chwood@clarku.edu
We
highly encourage you to join our new, low-volume listserv, which we
expect to be used primarily for publicizing Polar Science events in the
Northeast region (e.g. speakers at our universities) and for arranging
meet-ups. To join, please enter your email address into the google form
linked to below (note: you may need to be logged in first). If you
have problems editing the document, please email your information to us
directly.
And, if you aren’t already an APECS member, sign up today! It’s free: http://www.apecs.is/join
Hope to be in touch soon!
Sincerely,
Christie Wood & Alexandra, co-chairs, US Northeast regional committee
