The Swedish Polar Research Secretariat invites applications for a Research School/Early Career Scientist program onboard I/B Oden during the Canada-Sweden Arctic Ocean Expedition 2025.
The Early Career Scientists program will be running in parallel to Canadian research activities on board. The program will combine the practical work with observations and measurements in defined work packages, with practical instructions and exercises and a curriculum of lectures covering the coupled Arctic climate system, and will also allow for participant to enhance their own research projects. As an Early Career Scientist (ECS), participants will participate in the data acquisition/sampling and ideally use the collected material and data in your research, while also learning about other disciplines and the Arctic Ocean climate system and environment.
All students are expected to participate in all lectures, and a course certificate will be issued for those who want to obtain course credits; a completed course will earn 10 ECTS in credits and a certificate will require an individual examination. The opportunity to participate will be connected to one of five identified work packages, each with a senior researcher as a mentor. The mentors will also be responsible for the lecture curriculum.
The Swedish Polar Research Secretariat will cover travel and participation costs to/from Oslo, Norway and berth fee onboard I/B Oden covering lodging and food. No salary or per diem will be covered.
Applicants affiliated with Swedish or Canadian Universities will have priority, but other nationalities are also welcome to apply.
