Request for applications for the Education And Training Collaboration Team

IARPC Collaborations is seeking volunteer co-leads for the Education and Training Team (also referred to as the STEM team). 

This Education and Training Team develops resources to support the Arctic STEM education and research communities and connects STEM education organizations that leverage Arctic science

More information about the Education and Training Collaboration Team is available here.

Co-leader Responsibilities:

IARPC Collaborations leaders have cyclical and ongoing responsibilities that include:

  • Leading the community of practice

  • Regularly communicating and working in a collaborative way with fellow co-leads

  • Acting as a resource and coordinator for community members’ questions and ideas on community of practice activities

  • Planning team activities for coming year

  • Reaching out to potential speakers for community meetings and working with co-leads and IARPC Secretariat on meeting agendas and announcements

  • Organizing and chairing community of practice meetings

  • Supporting reporting on community of practice activities

  • Participating in annual team leader workshops

Co-leads can expect to devote between 6 and 10 hours per month on average to their leadership role. We ask applicants to be prepared to commit to serve at least two years as a co-lead. If there are unforeseen circumstances that require team leaders to step down before two years, we request they help find a replacement in discussion with the other co-leads. All those selected to be co-leads will be trained and onboarded.
