Call for Applications
2019-20 PolarTREC Field Season Researchers
Researcher Application deadline: Monday, 24 September 2018
For further information and application forms, visit the PolarTREC
website at: https://www.polartrec.com/
For questions, contact:
PolarTREC
Email: info@polartrec.com
Phone: 907-474-1600
PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating) is
currently accepting applications from researchers for teacher research
experiences. Researchers are invited to submit an application to host a
PolarTREC teacher in the 2019 Arctic field season and/or the
2019-2020 Antarctic field season.
IMPORTANT! Funding is pending for PolarTREC during the 2019-20 field
seasons. ARCUS will keep researcher applicants informed of our funding
status. If funding is secured, final matches should be made in
December 2018 or January 2019.
Informational Webinar: A one-hour informational webinar for both researchers
and teachers interested in the PolarTREC program was held on
Wednesday, 29 August 2018. You can view the archive here.
PolarTREC, a program of the Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS),
is a project through which middle and high school teachers, as well as informal
science educators participate in polar research, working closely with scientists
as a pathway to improving science education.
The program integrates research and education to produce a legacy of long-term
teacher-researcher collaborations, improved teacher content knowledge and
instructional practices, and broad public interest and engagement in polar science.
PolarTREC projects focus on a wide variety of research activities occurring in both
the Arctic and Antarctic, providing an outstanding opportunity for researchers to share
their passion for polar science through topics that naturally engage students and the
wider public.
Through PolarTREC, teachers spend two to six weeks in the Arctic or Antarctic,
working closely with researchers in the field as an integral part of the science team.
PolarTREC teachers and researchers are matched based on similar science interests
and selected researchers will have the opportunity to interview top applicants and
make final selections.
Teachers participate in an orientation and are trained extensively to meet the
program requirements prior to the field season. While in the field, teachers and
researchers communicate extensively with their colleagues, communities, and
students of all ages across the globe, using a variety of tools including online
journals, forums, podcasts, and interactive webinars from the field.
PolarTREC researchers must be at U.S. institutions. Applications from
researchers on National Science Foundation (NSF) funded projects will
receive priority in the selection process. Researchers should have secured
funding for their research project prior to applying. If funding is pending and
you would still like to host a teacher contact PolarTREC to discuss your
situation and future opportunities.
If you are interested in participating in PolarTREC, but are unable to apply
during the application period, please contact PolarTREC staff to discuss
opportunities for future participation.
Researcher Application deadline: Monday, 24 September 2018
Applications and additional information about researcher and teacher
requirements can be found on the PolarTREC website.

If I was a licensed teacher, maybe... I do prefer a cold environment, I have 2 doctorates, read, write, and speak 9 languages, and possess an IQ so high I am practically stupid. Hmmm.
