Call for Proposals INTERACT Transnational AccessCall for Proposals Opens: 1 August 2013 Submission Deadline: 30 September 2013 For further information, please go to: http://www.eu-interact.org -------------------- The INTERACT project, under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), has a Transnational Access program that offers access to 20 research stations in northernmost Europe and Russian Federation. The sites represent a variety of glacier, mountain, tundra, boreal forest, peat-land, and freshwater ecosystems, providing opportunities for researchers from natural sciences to human dimension. The call for proposals for Transnational Access visits taking place between October 2013 and October 2014 will open 1 August 2013. Transnational Access includes: - Free access for user groups/users to research facilities and field sites, including support for travel and logistic costs; and - Free access to information and data in the public domain held at the infrastructures. Transnational Access is available to user groups where the group leader and majority of group members work in an institution established in an EU Member State or Associated State. The maximum amount of access per user group is 90 person-days, including previously granted INTERACT Transnational Access. Detailed eligibility rules are available at: http://www.eu-interact.org/transnational-access. Additional information and resources, including registration with the project, application instructions, and a list of research stations, are available at: http://www.eu-interact.org.
Please quote ref no: BAS 48/13Closing date for applications: 05 May 2013The 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 now looking to recruit a Marine Biologist to be based at our Rothera Research Station, Antarctica. Within the Ecosystems programme, this project will assess the biodiversity, biomass and carbon budget of rocky shore communities in the Antarctic. The core of this project requires a detailed survey of a key location that was first described 15 years ago. The project aims are to describe the community structure in sufficient detail to assess carbon flow through the benthos, and detect any differences between surveys that will indicate how animals have responded to rapid climate change in this region. There is also an opportunity to work with experienced members of the team to broaden the scope of investigations. The position involves extensive SCUBA diving to study community structure and quantify ecological parameters. This requires extensive use of light microscopy and laboratory techniques to identify species and gather the ecological information that will feed into long term studies of shallow water communities in this region. Qualifications: BSc 2:1, minimum. Experienced diver (minimum 100 logged dives (50 cold water and dry suit dives). Capable of passing HSE commercial diving course before deployment to Antarctica Duration: Minimum 19th months fixed term appointment Salary: 21,037 On-line application forms and further information are available on our website. These are also available from the Human Resources Section, British Antarctic Survey, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0ET. Tel: (01223) 221508. Interviews are scheduled to be held: w/c 10th June 2013 We welcome applications from all sections of the community. People from ethnic minorities are currently under-represented and their applications are particularly welcome. http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/employment/vacancies/job.php?JobID=815
I would like to draw you attention to these two open position at CEAZA, Chile: *(1) Research Glaciologist*The Center for Advanced Research in Arid Zones (CEAZA) in Chile is seeking a glaciologist to occupy an open-term 100% research position in the field of glaciology. This role is that of a Principal Investigator within CEAZA. CEAZA is a scientific consortium, established in 2003 ( http://ceaza.cl), dedicated to studying the impact of climatic change and oscillations (e.g. ENSO) upon the hydrological cycle and the biological productivity in the arid zones of Northern-Central Chile. The glaciology group is focused on evaluating the water resources from the cryosphere as a contribution to integrated hydrological models for arid Andean basins and elsewhere in Chile. See full job offer at:http://www.ceaza.cl/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/GLACIOLOGIST-CRYOLIST_CEAZA_english.pdf*(2) Research Hydrologist*We invite applications for a 3-year renewable researcher position in Hydrology at the Center for Advanced Research in Arid Zones (CEAZA) in Chile. The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing projects and develop his/her own research on the wide range of hydrological processes involved in the water cycle of the semiarid Northern-Central Chile, including snow and glacier melt, groundwater flow and water use by irrigation. He/She will work in close collaboration with researchers in Glaciology, Hydrogeology and Water Management, but may also develop innovative research projects with biologists and climate scientists.He/She will contribute to the development of a regional water observatory. This long-term project will generate data and therefore facilitate quantitative analysis of the interactions between regional water resources and climate.
