Dear APECS community,
The position of APECS director in Tromsø, Norway has been re-announced due to the renewal of our contract. I will be leaving this position this summer (http://apecs.is/news-feeds/apecs-news/6147-apecs-director-transition) and as a great APECS supporter, I hope to get a large number of enthusiastic applicants. Just a reminder, as the APECS Director you will be located in Tromsø, Norway, which is not only famous for being one of the best places in the world to observe breathtaking northern lights (Aurora Borealis).
Tromsø is the world’s centre of polar research! Tromsø includes a great number of polar organizations and institutions in addition to having strong polar traditions and history. For example, the FRAM – High North Research Centre for Climate and the Environment (Fram Centre) that consists of 20 institutions and about 500 polar researchers, the Norwegian Polar Institute – the leading polar institution in Norway, Institute of Marine Research, Akvaplan-niva, NORUT - Northern Research Institute, and many others largely focused on the Northern regions and are all based in Tromsø. Also, several offices of international organizations are hosted here, such as the permanent Arctic Council Secretariat, the International Project Office of the WCRP’s Climate and Cryosphere Project (CliC), and others. Last but not least, the annual Arctic Frontiers conference has become the major Arctic forum in the last years and is usually takes place in the last week of January.
So, as you can see, Tromsø is a great environment and we (APECS leadership) are glad that APECS International Directorate is a part of it!
Don’t miss an opportunity to become an APECS Director in Tromsø! Apply at http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=93928 before June 6th, 2013.
Hilsen fra Tromsø,
Alexey
