* New Generation of Polar Researchers (NGPR) *
*                  Leadership Symposium*
http://disccrs.org/ngpr
                           May 2-9, 2015
                      USC Wrigley/Boone Center for Environmental Leadership
                  Catalina Island, California

*Application Deadline*: November 3, 2015

The International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2009 provided a once-in-50-years
opportunity to celebrate and advance polar research. The 2008 New
Generation of Polar Researchers (NGPR) Symposium provided a select group
of early career researchers with an opportunity to share their IPY
research plans, establish an ongoing collegial network, develop a common
sense of history and purpose, and place their work in an
interdisciplinary, systems context. Given the importance of polar
regions to the Earth system and rapidly changing environmental
conditions, the *2015 NGPR symposium will bring together a new cohort of
early career polar researchers *to build on the momentum from the IPY
and address changing conditions.

The week-long NGPR Leadership Symposium will bring together a select
group of 36 early career researchers to present their research and
discuss emerging research, professional and societal issues. Established
polar experts, including Lonnie Thompson and Ellen Mosley Thompson, will
share their history and insights. Training sessions will focus on
communication, team-building, collaborative research and leadership skills.

*Eligibility*: The 2015 NGPR Leadership symposium is open to early
career researchers who completed their Ph.D. degree between 1 January
2009 and 31 October 2014 and who have completed at least some of their
Ph.D. or subsequent research in a polar region. While international
participation is welcomed, the focus will be on the U.S. research system.

*Selection Process*: Participation will be limited to a total of 36
invited early career scholars. Each symposium application will be
evaluated by at least 3 reviewers with expertise in the applicant’s
major area of research. The review criteria will include research
quality, commitment to polar research, professional service and outreach
interests. Selection will favor research excellence and leadership
potential.

*Expenses*: Grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation will cover
the costs of on-site room and meals along with air fare between the Los
Angeles International Airport and & any other U.S. airport.
Transportation will be provided between the Los Angeles International
Airport & the U.S.C. Wrigley/Boone Center for Environmental Leadership
on Catalina Island. Travel from locations outside the U.S. will not be
covered.
