7 April 2017:
There are just over 7 weeks remaining to the deadline for applications for the 2017 SCAR Visiting Professor Scheme.
The Visiting Professorship is for mid- to late-career stage scientists and academics (at least 5 years after completing their PhD) who are involved in Antarctic research, providing the opportunity for them to undertake a short-term visit (1 to 4 weeks) to an institute(s) in another SCAR member country, to provide training and mentoring. The ultimate goal of the scheme is to strengthen the research capacity of countries with smaller or less well-developed Antarctic research programmes, promoting capacity building in the host country and developing long-term links and partnerships which will lead to advances in Antarctic research.
The deadline for applications is 31 May 2017.
