The Sitka Sounds Science Center (SSSC) invites applications for the Polar
Scientist in Residency Fellowship (PSIRF). The Fellowship is a fixed
term of one month. The fellowships will be based in Sitka, Alaska.

The PSIRF Program offers several one month-long fellowships for polar
scientists each year. Expenses for travel, one month of lodging, per
diem, and a small honorarium will be provided to each fellow. The
scientists will be given lab and office space and SSSC will provide
administrative support. The PSRIF brings scientists annually to Sitka
for one-month sabbaticals. The Fellowship is limited to U.S Citizens and
is intended for mid-career scientists. Scientists live on the Sheldon
Jackson Campus and are provided office and laboratory space at the
Science Center.

The PSIRF Fellows will spend a week of their residency in outreach and
education activities to share their work in the schools and at other
forums like public library programs, lunch meetings with students, and
science cafes. They will give a lecture to the general community through
the Natural History Seminar series put on by the Science Center and
supported by the Sitka Charitable Trust and the University of Alaska
Southeast. Fellows will also be provided guidance on best practices for
communicating science to a public audience in rural Alaska. This program
is funded in part by the NSF Division of Polar Programs.

Application deadline: 1 April 2016.
