The International Polar Foundation is always on the lookout for talented people to join its tight-knit team of professionals.
If you think you have what it takes, do not hesitate to get in touch.
The International Polar Foundation focuses on polar regions and polar sciences as a means to communicating on climate change and to promote a more sustainable society.
While we are not all scientists ourselves, our projects aim at providing platforms for polar science through communication, education and outreach projects. We also operate the zero emission wind and solar powered Princess Elisabeth Antarctica research station, a live prototype of efficient sustainable energy management. As a result, our core competencies also involve logistics and engineering.
If you think your skills can match our needs and you have a passion for the polar regions, do not hesitate to send us a cover letter and CV.
