Dear all readers worldwide.

Drumming up good candidates for the Director post of Arctic Centre in Rovaniemi
Drumming up candidates for the Director post of Arctic Centre Rovaniemi (thanks, Yamal Iri for lending this Image)

The University of Lapland advertises internationally the position for a new director of the Arctic Centre in Rovaniemi. It is one of the leading research centres on Arctic Research with a fairly even composition of social and natural scientists.

Our centre has been led for the last 15 years by Paula Kankaanpää and we are sad to see her go on, but wish her an exciting time at her new chosen position. Theoretically the new director could be an Arctic Anthropologist. Would somebody like to apply? If so, here is the link to the job advert and instructions

It’s a nice place to work.

The more good candidates we get, hopefully the better will be the new director for the Arctic Centre!
