The Institutional Cooperation Program is open to contemplate projects related to culture in all its disciplines. This Program is carried out between the National Direction of the Antarctic (DNA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Cult, and government and/or private Organizations related to art and culture. The non-Argentine institutions propose one or two artists to develop artistic projects during a specific residence in the Argentine Antarctic Stations.

As Medalhas IASC são atribuídas como reconhecimento dos resultados de contribuições de carácter excepcional e sustentável que visam uma maior compreensão/consciencialização da região do Árctico. É atribuído no máximo um prémio por ano, parindo do princípio que haverá pelo menos um candidato cuja qualidade do trabalho desenvolvido preencha os requisitos para este concurso. A entrega de das medalhas é feita normalmente pelo presidente do IASC.

Para o “IASC Medal 2012”, cuja cerimónia decorrerá durante a Conferência do IPY 2012 de Montréal (22 a 27 de Abril de 2012), as nomeações deverão ser submetidas para o secretariado do IASC até 31 de Dezembro de 2011. O formulário de candidatura está disponível no website do IASC em

Ocean/Ice Modeller
Please quote ref no: BAS 57/11
Closing date for applications: 07 Aug 2011


Main Description
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), part of the Natural Environment Research Council, aims to undertake a world-class programme of scientific research, and to sustain for the UK an active and influential regional presence and a leadership role in Antarctic affairs. We are currently seeking to appoint a postgraduate researcher with experience in the development and running of ocean models. Their role will be to set up and run a high-resolution regional ice-ocean model of the Amundsen Sea to investigate the physical processes that control the inflow of warm Circumpolar Deep Water to the continental shelf and the impacts of this on the melt rates of the floating ice shelves. The model will be forced with atmospheric reanalyses, the output from climate models and ice-cored based reconstructions, and verified by comparison with a growing database of oceanographic observations from the region. The output will be used as forcing for a glaciological model of the ice shelves and outlet glaciers of the Amundsen Sea embayment. The overall aim is to investigate the ocean forcing on the glacier evolution over the past two centuries in order to explain the current behaviour and to ascertain when the rapid changes that are currently underway may have started.

Qualifications: First degree in physical science/mathematics plus PhD (or equivalent)

Duration: 30 months Fixed Term Appointment

Salary: Salary will be in the range of £26,180 to £29,410 per annum. We offer a generous benefits package including a defined salary pension scheme, free car parking, flexible working hours and 30 days annual leave.
On-line application forms and further information are available on our website at www.antarctica.ac.uk/employment.
