Summary:

This paper announces the launch on 8th May 2019 of a Joint WMO-SCAR Fellowship Programme for early career scientists, which was originally announced in ATCM XLI IP044 A New WMO-SCAR Joint Fellowship Program. Fellows will be expected to undertake research on a topic that is relevant to the programme priority areas of WMO and SCAR, at major international laboratories, field facilities, and/or institutes in or operated by SCAR member countries, with the goal of exposing them to recent advances in Antarctic research and to develop long-term scientific links and partnerships. Selected fellows will not be expected to come from SCAR member countries, in keeping with aims of the WMO Fellowship Programme to support the education and training of qualified and suitable candidates, particularly from least developed and developing countries.
