The Science Advisory Board (SAB) for the NSF Ice Drilling Program (IDP) invites nominations, including self-nominations, from the U.S. scientific community to fill three open positions on the SAB. The SAB is seeking U.S.-based scientists with expertise in microbiology, ice-borehole/geophysical measurements, subglacial rock and sediment science, or related fields involving ice or subglacial materials and environments.
The primary purpose of the SAB is to provide advice and input on scientific issues pertaining to the NSF Ice Drilling Program, including annual updates to the IDP Long Range Science Plan. SAB members typically serve four-year terms, attend two annual SAB meetings per year – usually held virtually – and collaborate remotely as needed.
Please send nominations or self-nominations, including the nominee’s statement of interest and resume to the current SAB Chair, Sarah Shackleton (sarah.shackleton@whoi.edu), at your earliest convenience and no later than September 30, 2026.
