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.
Fellowship proposal deadline: Monday, 18 October 2010.
