Dear APECS Canada Board,

We were wondering if you could do us a small favour please. We decided to reach out to the board first just so we wouldn't be inundated by replies. 

Terin and I are organizing ArcticNet Student Day this year. We are having a bit of trouble filling up spots for the 3 minute elevator pitch session in the program. An invitation was sent out this week to all student poster presenters attending the to pitch their research. If you know anyone in your lab going to ArcticNet and will be presenting a poster, can you please encourage them to be part of the elevator pitches? It's an awesome opportunity to reach a very large and diverse audience to talk to them about their work. Thank you in advance!


Sincerely,

Dan and Terin

Dear APECS Canada members,

We were hoping to find someone who will be attending Student Day (Monday December 7 and Tuesday December 8) during the ArcticNet ASM in Vancouver that could help us film a few of our talks/workshops and possibly take a few photos during those two days. We will likely be able to provide a camera, but if you have your own equipment, even better. We can offer a small reward for your time and assistance. Thank you kindly.

Post-doctoral fellowship in Biology at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada

The Northern Plant Ecology Lab (NPEL) at the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) is looking to fill a one-year post-doctoral fellowship (PDF) focused on successional dynamics in boreal forests (for more details, see http://npelusask.weebly.com/openings.html). This is a limited term, 1 year PDF position paid at a rate of $40,000-$45,000 per year, with a portion of funds allocated to project travel as needed. The fellowship will be held in the Department of Biology at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK, Canada under the supervision of Dr. Jill Johnstone. Residence in Saskatoon is not required, however the PDF should be willing to travel to Saskatoon a few times during the year to facilitate collaborative work.

We are looking for a candidate who has completed a PhD within the past five years, and who shows evidence of strong quantitative skills and experience with forest ecology and vegetation succession. Ability to work independently and meet regular milestones is essential, as are strong communication skills in English. To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, and examples of 2 research papers to Dr. Jill Johnstone by email (jill.johnstone@usask.ca). Your cover letter should address your interest in the project and what skills and experience you can bring to the work. Preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Review of applications will start on 6 November 2015, and we hope to fill the position for a January 1, 2016 start date.

PhD Opportunity:  Assessing Capacity Building in Canada's Northern Research

In 2000, Canada's northern research was characterized as being in a 'state of crisis' with calls for greater investments in training and capacity building to generate knowledge in the North, for the North.  Over the last fifteen years a number of efforts have been made, both large and small, to enhance northern research capacity . Recognizing the need to better understand recent progress and inform northern research policy, this PhD research opportunity seeks to address the following general questions:

 

•       What does capacity enhancement and Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) mean in a northern resource development context?

•       How can we better assess progress towards enhancing research capacity and developing HQP in northern Canada?

•       To what extent have policy initiatives enhanced northern research capacity on environment and natural resource issues in Canada and how?

 

This exciting and high-profile research opportunity will involve diverse networking opportunities with actors involved in northern scientific knowledge production and training in Canada and inter-jurisdictional travel within Canada to collect and disseminate data. The student will be based in the Sustainable Futures Research Laboratory in the Department of Natural Resource Sciences at McGill University (http://sustainability-research.mcgill.ca). This dynamic group is working on international, leading edge research related to sustainable natural resource management and policy.

 

In collaboration with partners, the student will design the research, including theoretical and methodological dimensions. This will involve developing data collection tools, collecting and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data, undertaking data entry ensuring quality and confidentiality, and preparing a Ph.D. dissertation, project reports and research manuscripts. The successful applicant will be offered desk space, formal research support and a field research stipend through the Executive Council Office, Government of Yukon based in Whitehorse.
