Most of the Arctic, like most of the world, is commonly owned. With ownership comes the obligation to manage our resources for the benefit of the total. To do that, we must understand the reality, the richness, and the responsibility of the North.

– Governor Walter J. Hickel, Founder

Institute Fellows

The Institute of the North’s Fellows program provides a platform for Alaska- and internationally-recognized researchers and advocates to conduct mission-related projects and programs that compliment their work and interests. Fellows come from a wide array of backgrounds and with diverse experience in Alaska and Arctic issues.  Many have served since the Institute was founded; many bring fresh approaches to the Institute’s work.

To serve as a Senior Fellow please contact Nils Andreassen at nandreassen@institutenorth.org or 907 786-6324. The Institute also hosts visiting fellows and junior/student research fellows.
