The Polar Science Early Career Community Office is excited to announce that the 2023 Polar Postdoctoral Leadership Workshop (PPLW) will be taking place in Colorado. The workshop will bring 20 US-based postdoctoral researchers studying Antarctic and Arctic topics together from across the country to activate leadership skills that they can bring into their future careers. Participation in the workshop is free and travel support will be provided. Participants will be selected by the PSECCO PPLW Selection Committee, with a goal of establishing a discipline-, geographic-, and holistically diverse cohort.
The Polar Postdoc Leadership Workshop will be a multi-day workshop where the future leaders of the polar sciences come together to engage with current and future polar science topics and access skills and training that give them the confidence to step into leadership roles in our field. An outcome of the workshop will be a recommendation to the community about how to participate in leading the polar science community towards a new academia that works for all.
Day one of the workshop will be hosted in Boulder, Colorado; Days 2-5 will be hosted at CU Boulder's Mountain Research Station, just north of Nederland, Colorado (elevation 9500 ft).
Current postdoctoral researchers studying Arctic- or Antarctic-related science can apply. The organizers aim to be very interdisciplinary, and field-, model-, remote-sensing- and social- scientists are all encouraged to apply.
All applicants need to be based in the US but are not required to be US citizens, as long as your immigration status allows you to receive travel funds from the University of Colorado. The deadline by which to apply is 15 February 2023 at 11:59 pm MST.
