The Freshwater Steering Group of the CAFF (Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna) - Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) and are looking for one early career researcher to attend their Inter-Freshwater Expert Network Workshop which will take place in Sonnerupgaard, Denmark, 5 - 8 October 2015.
Just over 30 freshwater experts from around the Arctic will meet to discuss the State of the Arctic Freshwater Biodiversity Report. The APECS representative will be most welcomed to share in the workshop discussions and shape the direction of the report and influence the work necessary to deliver the report. Furthermore, they will have excellent opportunity to network with some of the Arctic’s leading researchers in this field and meaningfully engage in the work of the CBMP.
Early career researchers interested in applying for this opportunity should have preferably expertise in freshwater algae (lake or river, benthic, or pelagic). But anyone with freshwater biodiversity monitoring expertise will also be considered.
While CAFF will pay for lunches, there is no travel support available unfortunately, so this opportunity is open to either someone locally, or someone who would have their own travel support to attend the meeting.
Applications should include your CV and a statement of interest with your research background and reason why you would like to attend this workshop.
