For US High School Students -- a chance to work in Greenland doing science. Application deadline 9 January 2015
More information, including the application, is available at:

(From the web site:)
In this successful summer science and culture opportunity, students and teachers from the United States, Denmark, and Greenland come together to learn about the research conducted in Greenland and the logistics involved in supporting the research. They conduct experiments first-hand and participate in inquiry-based educational activities.
The JSEP format has evolved over the years into its current state, which consists of two field-based subprograms on-site in Greenland: the Greenland-led Kangerlussuaq Science Field School and the U.S.-led Science Education Week.
Program Dates and Descriptions
Kangerlussuaq Field School (2 weeks) and Science Education Week (1 week): Tentative dates for JSEP 2015 are June 29th through July 20th.
Kangerlussuaq Science Field School: Students learn about and participate in polar science alongside researchers and teachers at field stations around Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. This area is a rural region with limited amenities. Participants live in dormitory style housing and share in cooking and cleaning responsibilities. This part of the JSEP Program is supported by the government of Greenland.

Hi - I am a HS Env, Sci. teacher. I wanted to see if I could correspond with the JSEP program this summer with my students.
ReplyDeleteCan I get direct-contact email to do this? Thanks,

I don't have anything more direct than is on the web site -- info@arcus.org
ReplyDeleteMy experience has been that they're pretty prompt to get a message to the right person.
Good luck, and do let me (us) know how it goes!
