The European Polar Board (EPB) is an independent organisation that focuses on major scientific, policy, and strategic priorities in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The Executive Secretary works with the EPB Chair, the Executive Committee, and the broad EPB membership, to advance coordination in polar research effectively, foster multilateral collaboration and knowledge sharing. The Executive Secretary should initiate and maintain links with national and international organisations as required and will represent the EPB externally in major ongoing activities such as the IPY, ICARP IV, and other polar initiatives as deemed necessary.

The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO as lead sponsor of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Programme collaborates closely with the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) as co-sponsor, together with United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Science Council (ISC). GOOS is the major ocean observing programmatic element of the IOC Medium-term Strategy 2022-2029 and the WMO-IOC Collaborative Strategy. The position is for a ‘Co-Design Programme Support Officer’ and will focus on contributing to the development of the co-design approach in areas relevant across WMO and IOC, and to link to the WMO Rolling Review of Requirements (RRR) process, as well as areas contributing to supporting the Ocean Observing Co-Design programme in general and GOOS’s activities in the Ocean Decade.

The Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA) is currently seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with a PhD related to chemistry, toxicology, or equivalent to join the Marine and Continental Waters Program.

The call for applications for an Early-Career Scientist (ECS) to join the SCOR Executive Committee is now open. The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) is an international non-governmental organization whose vision is to advance international ocean research, within and across disciplines, by stimulating international cooperation in ocean sciences. More information about SCOR can be found at www.scor-int.org. The ECS in the SCOR Executive Committee will help reach out to the broader early-career community and get it involved in SCOR activities. The early-career scientist (ECS) will have the same responsibilities as other SCOR Executive Committee members (see https://scor-int.org/scor/about/officers/job-descriptions/). The duties of SCOR Executive Committee Members require a few hours each week for responding to emails and reviewing documents, as well as attendance at the SCOR Annual Meeting each year they are on the Executive Committee. The term of appointment will be for two years. The 2024 Annual Meeting will be held in Qingdao, China and is scheduled for 16-18 October 2024. The meeting will be in hybrid mode. SCOR will pay for the travel costs of the ECS related to SCOR meetings.

MEDiverSEAty is a Doctoral Network investigating human dimensions of Mediterranean Marine Biodiversity. The lack (or oversimplification), both in political and scientific debate, of “diversity” (among cultures, roles, societies, attitudes, identities) as a key driver acting on the relationship among European citizens and marine biodiversity. MEDiverSEAty aims at filling these gaps, through the implementation of a Doctoral Network Training and Research Program involving 6 European countries (Italy, Malta, France, Spain, Montenegro and Greece) working on two key-pillars of contemporary marine sciences, policies and education: 1. Ocean Literacy; 2. Marine Biodiversity Conservation
