We’re excited you’re interested in applying to be JIRP faculty. Similar to many research universities, we use the broad title “faculty” to describe two different roles within the JIRP Expedition: Teaching Faculty and Research Faculty. Both groups of faculty work on the Icefield, interact with JIRP students, and do research, but they have different foci and different expectations from a programmatic perspective. The applications are split, so please first decide look over our Information page to decide which role better fits your goals and resources. If you have any questions or concerns, contact our staff (office@juneauicefield.org).
