A reminder that nominations and self-nominations for the 2022 IGAC Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) are due 31 May 2021.
Nominations for scientists working in Africa, Southern Asia, Europe, and the Middle East are strongly encouraged for this round. We also have an upcoming gap in expertise representing laboratory fundamentals. Serving on the IGAC SSC is ideal for well-established mid to senior career scientists. For information about serving on the IGAC SSC, please see The Expectations and Role of IGAC SSC Members.
IGAC accepts both nominations and self-nominations. Please see below the requirements for each type of nomination.
Upload the nominee's CV and publication list (if not part of the CV).
Upload a statement from the nominee on "Why do you want to serve on the IGAC SSC and what will you bring to IGAC?" The statement should be ~300 words or less.
Upload your CV and publication list (if not part of the CV).
Upload a letter of support from someone in the international scientific community.
Provide a statement on "Why do you want to serve on the IGAC SSC and what will you bring to IGAC?". The statement should be ~300 words or less.
Please keep in mind that IGAC strives to have an SSC with diversity in geographical representation, gender, and expertise. To view current SSC members and their expertise, visit igacproject.org/people.

About IGAC
The atmosphere is the integrator of the Earth system. Human emissions of pollutants and long-lived greenhouse gases into the atmosphere have caused dramatic transformations of the planet, altering air quality, climate and nutrient flows in every ecosystem. Understanding the global atmosphere requires an international network of scientists providing intellectual leadership in areas of atmospheric chemistry that need to be addressed, promoted, and accomplished through research across disciplines and geographical boundaries. Acknowledgement of this need led to the formation of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Project in 1990. IGAC’s mission is to facilitate atmospheric chemistry research towards a sustainable world. This is achieved through IGAC’s three focal activities: fostering community, building capacity, and providing leadership.
IGAC’s priorities and activities are determined and guided by an international volunteer Scientific Steering Committee (SSC). Serving on the IGAC SSC is a unique and enjoyable opportunity to contribute to the international atmospheric chemistry community.
