Research And Study With Us

iC3 offers a friendly and supportive working environment to early career researchers who are passionate about polar science

Training and supporting the next generation of interdisciplinary polar scientists is a core part of our mission. iC3 has a dedicated mentorship and graduate training programme. We actively help early career researchers to gain new skills, secure grant funding, get their research published, and build their professional networks. Each graduate iC3 student gains hands-on experience in polar research by being embedded in one of the centre’s working groups.

iC3 is based at the top university worldwide in terms of Arctic research output. You can find information on how to join some of the world’s leading scientists in the Arctic below.

“There aren’t a whole lot of people who can cross country ski to work in the winter. Here, that’s an option! Few people get to experience the Polar Night, Midnight Sun, and regular Aurora Borealis unless it’s on vacation.”
