The National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS), headquartered in Trieste, Italy, is pleased to announce the opening of a 12-month research fellowship in polar science. This position is ideal for a young scientist with an interest in Arctic and Antarctic research and the opportunity to participate in polar expeditions. The successful candidate will work closely with the OGS team on analyzing vital data collected from both polar regions, contributing to cutting-edge research that enhances our understanding of the Earth’s most remote environments.

Key Responsibilities: The selected fellow will focus on analyzing a range of data from the Arctic and Antarctic, providing insights into the physical, chemical, and biological processes at play in these extreme environments. The position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects that aim to better understand the effects of climate change and the role of polar regions in the global climate system. The fellowship also provides the chance to engage in fieldwork and participate in polar expeditions, further enriching the research experience.

Eligibility Requirements: The fellowship is open to young scientists with a strong background in oceanography, geophysics, or related fields. Applicants should have a proven track record in scientific research and data analysis, with particular emphasis on environmental or polar science. The position requires a keen interest in scientific exploration, as well as the ability to work collaboratively with a diverse research team.

Why Apply? This fellowship offers a chance to contribute to the expanding body of polar research that is crucial for understanding global environmental changes. Working at OGS provides access to state-of-the-art facilities and the opportunity to collaborate with leading scientists in the field. The fellowship will also allow the successful candidate to gain invaluable experience in both laboratory-based research and fieldwork, potentially including participation in future polar expeditions.

Application Process: To apply, interested candidates must submit their applications by the deadline of 26 December 2024, 23:59 CET. For more information and detailed instructions on how to apply, please refer to the attached PDF.

This is an exciting opportunity for any young scientist looking to make a significant contribution to polar research. We encourage all interested candidates to apply and share this opportunity with colleagues who may be interested.
