Are you an early career researcher and your work is related to birds and marine mammals in the Antarctic? We are looking for a new APECS representative for the Expert Group on Birds and Marine Mammals (EG-BAMM) of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).
The representative would be serving on the group for a minimum of two years. Your role would focus on participating in the work and discussions of EG-BAMM, as well as being a link between EG-BAMM and APECS (e.g. reporting on APECS activities of interest to EG-BAMM during EG-BAMM meetings; reporting on EG-BAMM activities of interest to APECS to APECS members and other early career researchers). In addition, the representative would ideally attend the meeting of the Expert Group at the 2016 SCAR OSC in Kuala Lumpur and other meetings as they arise.
