Under the leadership of the Sentinel North program at Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada), this International PhD School (IPS) is an advanced, graduate level course on permafrost engineering applied to transportation infrastructure.
Université Laval's CREATE-SMAART and Sentinel North programs offer students a unique opportunity to interact with top level scientists as part of a transdisciplinary and highly technological training program aimed to develop and deploy an optical device in northern conditions.
Registrations are open to recruit participants ready for an integrative and practical experience in the fields of engineering and optics at the Forêt Montmorency, the largest teaching and research forest in the world.
Under the initiative of the CREATE-SMAART and Sentinel North programs at Université Laval, this bootcamp offers students a unique opportunity to interact with top level scientists as part of a transdisciplinary and highly technological training program aimed to develop and deploy an optical device in northern conditions.
The next Sentinel North International PhD School will take place from July 2 to 12, 2019, at the Centre for Northern Studies (CEN) research station in Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuarapik (Nunavik, Canada) on the theme: Arctic Microbiomes: From Molecules and Microbes to Ecosystems and Health.
Registrations are currently open to recruit young researchers from all disciplines ready for an experiential training with world-renowned mentors in the fields of arctic biology and microbiology, chemistry, optics-photonics, genomics and health sciences.
Under the leadership of the Sentinel North program at Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada), the International PhD School (IPS) is a unique transdisciplinary training program aiming to understand the key role of microbiomes in shaping the structure and functioning of the Arctic, including their impacts on food webs, ecosystem services, and human health.
As part of the renewal of a MOU between the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in Tromsø and Université Laval, both institutions are launching a new joint call for research proposals and invite their respective research communities to submit joint applications for concerted projects that will incorporate emerging and transformative ideas.
With a common envelope of $1 Million over 3 years, the initiative is part of Sentinel North’s international collaboration strategy.
The deadline to submit a proposal is February 18, 2019.
Sentinel North invites Université Laval's research community and its collaborators to respond to a targeted call for projects that will complement its existing program.
A budget of $ 2 million over 3 years (2019-2022) will be awarded to projects in two specific research themes involving diverse expertise, including many fields in social sciences and humanities.
Submitted proposals should be firmly anchored in Sentinel North's conceptual framework by putting forward a truly transdisciplinary reflection.
The deadline to submit proposals is December 19, 2018.
