The next Sentinel North International PhD School will take place from July 2 to 12, 2019, at the Centre for Northern Studies (CEN) research station in Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuarapik (Nunavik, Canada) on the theme: Arctic Microbiomes: From Molecules and Microbes to Ecosystems and Health.

Registrations are currently open to recruit young researchers from all disciplines ready for an experiential training with world-renowned mentors in the fields of arctic biology and microbiology, chemistry, optics-photonics, genomics and health sciences.

Deadline to apply to the PhD School on Arctic Microbiomes

International PhD School

2 - 12 July 2019, Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuarapik (Nunavik, Canada)

Under the leadership of the Sentinel North program at Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada), the International PhD School (IPS) is a unique transdisciplinary training program aiming to understand the key role of microbiomes in shaping the structure and functioning of the Arctic, including their impacts on food webs, ecosystem services, and human health.

As part of the renewal of a MOU between the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in Tromsø and Université Laval, both institutions are launching a new joint call for research proposals and invite their respective research communities to submit joint applications for concerted projects that will incorporate emerging and transformative ideas.

With a common envelope of $1 Million over 3 years, the initiative is part of Sentinel North’s international collaboration strategy.

The deadline to submit a proposal is February 18, 2019.

Sentinel North invites Université Laval's research community and its collaborators to respond to a targeted call for projects that will complement its existing program.

A budget of $ 2 million over 3 years (2019-2022) will be awarded to projects in two specific research themes involving diverse expertise, including many fields in social sciences and humanities.

Submitted proposals should be firmly anchored in Sentinel North's conceptual framework by putting forward a truly transdisciplinary reflection.

The deadline to submit proposals is December 19, 2018.

Second edition of the Sentinel North Pint

The Sentinel North Student Association invites you to the second Sentinel North Pint, which will take place on November 13, 2018 at the District St-Joseph (240, rue St-Joseph Est) from 7 to 9 pm. This science outreach activity is open to the public and aims to present the research of Thematic project 2: Light as a driver, environment, and information carrier in natural environments and human health through a series of conferences by the researchers at the heart of the projects.

Proposed Sentinel North projects must clearly lead to results and outcomes with an application and impact in the circumpolar North, as defined by the following map.

The Sentinel North Research Chair on Relations with Inuit Societies is happy to launch the first scholarship competition for students of the 2nd and 3rd cycles. The submitted projects should be in line with the Chair's objectives.

• Master Studies Scholarship - $8,000
• Doctoral Studies Scholarship - $10,000
• Doctoral Support Scholarship - $10,000/year (4 years)

In collaboration with its partners, Sentinel North deploys a rich program of transdisciplinary training activities designed to address the themes of its research program and aimed at developing forward-thinking skills.
