Young Researcher Participation in Northern Research Forum 2013: Climate Change in Northern Territories

这是一个小型讲习班奖，旨在支持两名职业生涯早期的女学者参加将于2013年秋季在冰岛阿库雷里举行的北方研究论坛。 北方研究论坛每两年举行一次公开大会。 每次集会都侧重于与北方人和北方研究相关的不同主题。 今年？大会的主题是北方领土的气候变化：分享经验和探索新方法，评估社会经济影响。 NRF的主要目标之一是通过让新兴学者参与领导，并通过选择一批早期职业研究人员在开放大会上介绍他们的研究项目和发现，促进下一代北极研究人员。其目的是让早期职业研究人员与高级科学家和其他专业人员和专家以及各利益攸关方群体和公众的代表进行对话。这项建议将支持来自美国的两名早期职业学者的参与：布朗大学博士后研究员Noor Jehan约翰逊博士和阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校博士候选人Amy Wiita。他们将与来自其他北极国家的20多名青年研究人员一起，为交流思想和建立网络提供机会。

This is a small workshop award to support the participation of two early career female scholars in the Northern Research Forum, which will be held in Akureyri, Iceland in the Fall 2013. The Northern Research Forum (NRF) holds an Open Assembly every two years. Each assembly focuses on a different theme of relevance to northerners and northern research. This year?s Assembly theme is Climate Change in Northern Territories: Sharing Experiences and Exploring New Methods, Assessing Socio-Economic Impacts. One of the main objectives of the NRF is to promote the next generation of Arctic researchers by involving emerging scholars in leadership and by selecting a cohort of early career researchers to present their research projects and findings at the Open Assemblies. The aim is to engage early career researchers in dialogue with senior scientists and other professionals and experts as well as representatives of various stakeholder groups and the public. This proposal will support the involvement of two early career scholars from the United States: Dr. Noor Jehan Johnson, a postdoctoral researcher at Brown University, and Amy Wiita, a doctoral candidate at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. They will join more than 20 other Young Researchers from other Arctic nations, offering an opportunity for exchange of ideas and network building.
