There are many fellowships, scholarships, funding opportunities, training course and so forth that are offered by a plethora of sponsors and institutes for the early career polar scientist. An idea is to follow APECS Oceania on Facebook and Twitter, and joining our mailing list by becoming a member of APECS Oceania via the APECS International – Join Us website.
APECS Oceania occasionally posts career opportunities under Jobs & Opportunities, while the Links & Supporters gives a list of institutes and communities related to the polar early career scientist, which are highly recommended to be explored.

Nature Careers Toolkit
Early career researchers face myriad challenges in their working lives. Making an appropriate CV, finding funding for their projects, or deciding what they want to do when they finish their degrees are all crucial turning points in any scientist’s career, and modern research can be an unforgiving place for those who aren’t prepared. Nature Careers has provided a guide to the working world of science.
