Call for nominations

SEARCH seeks nominations of scientific, Indigenous, and decision-making experts to serve on co-production teams. Each team will include a balanced mix of scientific, Indigenous, and decision-making experts.

These experts will co-produce syntheses of a changing Arctic, and make this understanding accessible to all.

SEARCH is funded by the National Science Foundation (USA) to co-produce and share syntheses that can inform decisions in communities, governments, and commerce.

Team members should be:
Expert.  Demonstrate scientific, Indigenous, and/or decision-making expertise about the Arctic environment. Able to synthesize.  Recognize the value of creating and sharing syntheses (defined as “combining diverse conceptions into a coherent whole”).
Collaborative and respectful.  Commit to working for the next 4-5 years in diverse groups to create new knowledge and practices. Available.  Attend monthly remote meetings and at least one in-person meeting each year.

Travel support for team meetings will be provided. Indigenous participants are also eligible to apply for technical support and stipends for meeting days.

Nominations are open and will remain open until further notice. We will begin reviewing nominations starting on 15 November 2021. Successful nominees will join one of three co-production teams.
