Postdoctoral Fellowships in Polar Regions Research
National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs
Program Solicitation: NSF 09-612
Fellowship Proposal Deadline: Monday, 18 October 2010
The Postdoctoral Fellowships in Polar Regions Research program supports training and research for recent doctoral degree recipients in any aspect of scientific study of the Antarctic and/or the Arctic within the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Polar Programs (OPP) program areas (http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OPP ). The program also provides travel grants to those eligible for fellowships for the purpose of meeting prospective mentors and colleagues, presenting seminars, discussing mutual research and/or education interests, evaluating facilities and professional development opportunities, and initiating collaborative relationships.
The fellowship program develops and trains recent PhDs (especially those new to polar research) with concomitant goals to:
- Promote scientific research in polar regions;
- Support innovative research in emerging areas;
- Encourage interdisciplinary research;
- Foster activities that create broader impacts for science and society; and
- Increase the participation of under-represented groups in polar regions research.
Fellowship proposals are submitted directly by individuals, but each candidate must identify one or more U.S. sponsoring scientists and a U.S. host organization before submitting a proposal. Examples of appropriate U.S. host organizations are colleges and universities, government and national laboratories and facilities, and publicly and privately sponsored organizations such as nonprofit institutes, museums, and for-profit organizations.
The complete solicitation, which includes details on eligibility and submission, is available at:
