The National Science Foundation (NSF) is accepting applications for its
Postdoctoral Fellowships in Polar Regions Research program.
Synopsis of Program:
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
Office of Polar Programs (OPP) program areas. 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;
- support and promote awareness of International Polar Year research
and education activities;
- foster activities that create broader impacts for science and
society; and
- increase the participation of under-represented groups in polar
regions research.
Full Proposal Deadlines (due by 5:00 p.m. proposer's local time):
