Application deadline: October 18th.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is in the process of preparing its Seventh Assessment report (AR7). The IPCC Working Groups are seeking highly motivated early-career researchers from developing countries and countries in transition to apply as Chapter Scientists to support author teams for the AR7.
The call for applications is being coordinated by ICTP's External Activities Unit, together with the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), organisations with extensive track records for supporting sustainable science in the global South.
This is a great opportunity for early-career researchers to get involved with the IPCC process.
Applicants may apply to only one Working Group and to a maximum of three Chapters. Successful applicants will be required to work under the general rules and procedures of the IPCC. Chapter Scientists will be acknowledged in the IPCC report.
Chapter Scientists will not be employees of IPCC, or IPCC Working Groups’ Technical Support Units and will be expected to work from their home institutions (if applicable) or be based in a country where they have legal standing to work independently.
Contractual arrangements for the Chapter Scientists role, which includes a stipend over the course of 4 years, as well as equipment and IT support, will be managed by ICTP. They will also receive support for travel and subsistence for their participation in Lead Author Meetings, which occur twice per year.
