Why should I become an APECS Member?
Worldwide, many early career polar researchers work in isolation – in our institutes as well as our fieldwork. Becoming an APECS member connects you into our membership network of researchers and educators with similar interests, passions and experiences. Moreover, it gives you access to job vacancies and other opportunities from around the globe and from a variety of institutions and organizations. We have many wonderful advisory committee members – established senior scientists - who are happy to help with career advice or put you in contact with others who can help you with various questions. APECS will be sponsoring a number of workshops and works closely with the International Polar Year office to find financial support to ensure and increase early career participation in all IPY events. From time to time opportunities arise for early career representatives at science planning activities and other events – being a member allows you access to those opportunities to help build an international and interdisciplinary polar career. Being a member lets you search the membership database to find new colleagues or email people questions you might have on various science topics, and to develop new professional contacts and friendships. APECS has many activities and resources that could use your help and that will simultaneously advance your career. See our Get Involved section for more details.
As an international organization, the major connecting point for our organization is our website. Being an APECS member gives you access to resources that will be helpful for your career development, along the continuum of undergraduate through to successful polar researcher. Our discussion board allows you to interact with the larger community regarding a variety of issues such as questions regarding laboratory procedures, finding out where to get polar experience, sharing stories and tips and discussing recent publications. You also have access to a variety of RSS feeds regarding polar research all in one place – from recent news stories to the latest polar related Science paper. We have a database of polar related job openings and several RSS feeds from other job databases. One of the most useful benefits of membership is the membership database itself. Using this tool can help you find other people in your field asking similar questions, allowing you to meet new international colleagues, or find additional resources to help your research and career development.
Being an APECS member also gives you access to the many early career workshops and meetings that will be held in the coming months and years, as well as opportunities to serve on science planning and conference organizing committees as the voice of early career polar researchers. The APECS meetings allow rare face-to-face contact with those involved in the field, which is both professionally and personally rewarding. Each of these workshops will have a different focus, from very technical and technique specific to broad career development strategies. Many of these workshops will have limited openings, and being an active APECS member will give you higher priority in the application process.
How do I become a member of APECS?
To sign up to become a member of APECS, go to the discussion forum on the APECS website: http://arcticportal.org/apecs/forum and click on the Register link under the APECS logo. This will take you through the registration process where you will be asked to enter your email address and other information. We only use the email address to send you announcements from time to time. Your information can only be accessed by other members for the purposes of finding new collaborators, networking and learning more about other polar research projects. The more information you enter, the more people will be exposed to your work. If you have troubles, please contact our Chief Information Officer, Peter DiFiorie (pdifiore at Princeton.EDU).
I want to get involved in APECS. What is there to do, and how to I get started?
There are lots of things you can do within APECS and we are always looking for excited people with great ideas. Start by visiting our “Get Involved” section and checking out some of the working groups. There are also a number of national committees you can check out. If your country does not have a national APECS group and you would like to start one, visit the APECS National Committees page for information. If there are specific things you would like to help with, work on, or like to see APECS doing, please contact any one of the APECS Council members.
I am really interested in the Antarctic/Arctic. How do I get a job or volunteer position to go there?
This is probably the most common question we get. We personally understand the intrigue the polar regions have and why people want to go, and also that very few have this opportunity. The answer is a not an easy one. There are several ways you can get to the Poles; it all depends on your interest in being there. If you are interested in conducting research, we recommend looking at the National Funding agencies in your country and see what types of polar research they facilitate. You can then contact the principle investigators of these projects. If you want to undertake undergraduate or graduate research, you can use a similar process to investigate universities in your country or abroad and find a place that matches your interests. Also, keep an eye on our job vacancies page (http://arcticportal.org/root/home/apecs/jobs-/-opportunities). If you are looking for a science support type of job, there are several countries that operate research stations and hire people to manage and run the stations – you can find those on our links page. There are a number of tourism companies that operate in the polar regions and they are always looking for knowledgeable people to work for them. International Antarctic Tourism Association (http://www.iaato.org/) has a lot of great information and the Sustainable Arctic Tourism group does as well (http://www.arctictourism.net).
I have not been involved in polar research before, where do I start?
There are lots of great websites with information on current polar research. Check out our links page for some of these. Contact local Colleges, Universities, and Research Institutes, or visit their webpage to learn about any polar research programs they may have. We also recommend looking at your country’s science funding programs for solicitations on issues that interest you and talking to some of the investigators with funded projects that are interesting to you. You can also search our membership database to find new collaborators that you would be interested to work with and/ or develop new ideas with.
I was reading some polar science material and came across a bunch of acronyms I didn’t understand. Help?
There are definitely a lot of acronyms in polar science, which can get very confusing. We are in the process of creating a database where you will be able to search to find what the acronym stands for and what the organization/project is about, including a link to their website. Until then, you might want to try the IASC (International Arctic Science Committee) website; they have a nice list for Arctic acronyms (http://arcticportal.org/iasc/services/polar-acronyms) and the SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) for an Antarctic List http://www.scar.org/information/acronyms/.
I have been asked to give an outreach presentation on polar science. Can you help?
Outreach is a very important part of APECS and we are here to help. Please visit out Education and Outreach Page where you will find links to several sites that will be helpful for you as well as materials and presentations given by other early career polar researchers: http://arcticportal.org/apecs/education--outreach

History of APECS and the IPY International Youth Steering Committee
Because of increasing concern about climate and the escalating changes in Polar Regions and the cryosphere, it is imperative that young scientists and engineers develop collaborations with international counterparts as well as researchers in other disciplines to address questions facing these regions that play such an important role for the function of this Planet. The International Polar Year (IPY) comes at a time when focus on the Poles is a pressing concern. The IPY aims to create large international and interdisciplinary research addressing the delicate Polar Regions on Earth and to increase the general public’s awareness, understanding, and importance of these ecosystems.
The International Polar Year (IPY) Youth Steering Committee (YSC) was founded in July of 2005 by Amber Church and Tyler Kuhn of Canada to ensure that the goal set out by IPY for the involvement of youth in all aspects of the IPY was met. Membership grew to include Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, RAIPON, Russia, UK and the USA. To increase infiltration at a national level, each country involved with YSC has founded their own national level youth steering committee to plan more country-specific activities. At the international level the YSC has planned a series of activities which include the International Youth Conference on the Poles (IYCP), an educational website, the Students on Ice-IPY Expeditions, the Polar Contests, a project bringing together youth and past polar explorers ultimately resulting in a book and documentary, a project documenting youth opinions on what the legacies and outcomes of IPY should be and Tales of the Wonder Zone (a science fiction compilation based on a international polar year occurring 50 years in the future).The momentum behind the YSC was to increase the education and outreach efforts targeted at school age students by involving young researchers in these activities.
The YSC was growing strong and having a major influence on education and outreach for polar science. However, there was still a void for undergraduates through new faculty in the IPY. APECS was established in 2006 to represent the needs and challenges faced by graduate students, post-docs, junior faculty, and research associates involved in polar research. It was structured by scientific discipline and focused on career development and international networking. APECS was created by Dr. Jenny Baeseman – a microbial ecologist studying life in extreme environments – with the help of Hugues Lantuit – a permafrost researcher – and Dr. Rhian Salmon – an atmospheric chemist and the Education and Outreach coordinator for the IPY. This network represented people with a wide range of expertise and interests including natural and social sciences and engineering in Polar Regions as well as the broader cryosphere.
Following a meeting in Stockholm at the end of September 2007, the International Polar Year International Youth Steering Committee (IYSC) and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) merged under a new structure keeping the name ‘APECS’. Twenty-four representative emerging polar scientists and students from eleven countries are involved in discussions about the future of this organization and others. All participants joined the organization through membership of either the IPY International Youth Steering Committee (IYSC) or the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS). This merger brought together the strong education and outreach components of the YSC with the science networking and career development of APECS
The new APECS comes together to shape the future of polar research by sharing and developing interdisciplinary and international research directives, career development initiatives and communication of these advancing sciences with people around the world. It consists of coordinated regional and national activities, disciplinary science groups, and international events. A number of committees and working groups were established to focus on career development, communication, education and outreach.

Get Involved
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
There are lots of things you can do within APECS and we are always looking for excited people with great ideas. APECS has a number of working groups and committees for a variety of interests. These groups are listed below, along with a brief description of the group and contact information. There are also a number of national committees you can check out. If there are specific things you would like to help with, work on, or like to see APECS doing, please contact any one of the APECS Council members.
NATIONAL COMMITTEES
One of the biggest assets of APECS is the number of national committees that work together on various activities as well as networking and professional development. At a national level, APECS concentrates on country specific programs. This work can take many forms, always focusing on polar research, education and outreach. For example, New Zealand focuses their energy on the New Zealand portion of the Polar Contests program while in Canada the national level of APECS has developed a series of programs distinct from those being undertaken by the international APECS. Essentially national APECS groups tailor their work to what is most appropriate within their country. This tailoring goes beyond programs. For example, Portugal focuses most of their efforts on the kindergarten to high school age group, whereas the United States and Germany do more work with university students and post-docs. The strength is that all of these national groups are united under one large umbrella organization, APECS, which allows sharing of resources, activities, peer mentoring, and the opportunity to develop new exciting collaborations.
No matter where your national committee decides to focus its energy the important part is to spread the importance of polar research and education as much as possible and get as many young people from your country involved as possible. This involves a lot of outreach work. Many national committees take care of this outreach through websites, presentations in schools, community presentations and connections with polar organizations within their countries.
