MARMAM Community - we at Quixote Expeditions have an excellent opportunity for scientists with projects in Antarctica! We are now accepting applications for our January 16 - February 6th 2016 Trip to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Quixote Expeditions has a Guest Scientist Program where scientists can join any of our regularly scheduled trips in order to help them carry out their research. This can be anyone working on a master’s of PhD thesis, professors and researchers at universities, and scientists associated with non-profits. We offer a free space onboard any of our scheduled trips for scientists to perform their research. We sail in remote places that are often hard for scientists to get to and for those with limited funding, impossible due to the expensive nature of working in remote areas. We hope that by offering these spaces – one per trip, that amazing and interesting science can be continued here at the end of the world. In exchange we ask that the scientist try to involve the other guests onboard with the research and data collecting if possible (its not always possible!). We also want to know more about your interesting research and ask that scientists present some of the current or past research while onboard. For those interested, please go to our website http://www.syquijote.com/science/ and look for guest scientist info. You can also contact us at i...@syquijote.com NOTE: Applications for the January 16- Feb 6th 2016 Antarctica Trip are due March 15th 2015. Applicants will be notified by April 1, 2015. For Antarctic expeditions scientists will be required to obtain their own permits for their research from their respective national authorities. We can offer free room and board to one scientists per trip. All other related costs are at the expense of the scientists. If your project potentially spans more than one trip, please apply for multiple trips on the application form.
