About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) is offering postdoctoral research fellowships to provide early-career scientists with opportunities to work across disciplines, develop partnerships, and utilize unique research resources. The fellowships aim to establish these scientists as leaders in the scientific community. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents, with a particular emphasis on encouraging applications from women, veterans, persons with disabilities, underrepresented minorities in STEM, and those who have attended community colleges or minority-serving institutions. The fellowship program will include a professional development component focused on mentoring skills and increasing the engagement of underrepresented groups in STEM.
The fellowship awards are funded through the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program, which supports fundamental research and educational initiatives across various Earth science disciplines. While the specific award amounts are not provided, the program has demonstrated a wide range of recent grant values, from $79,139 to $4,893,936, typically spanning 1-5 year project periods. The research is expected to be conducted at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
Synopsis
The Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) offers postdoctoral research fellowships (PRF) to provide opportunities for scientists early in their careers to work within and across traditional disciplinary lines, develop partnerships, and avail themselves of unique research resources, sites and facilities. The fellowship program is intended toprovide beginning investigators of significant potential with experiences that will establish them in positions of leadership in the scientific community. During tenure, Fellows affiliate with a host research organization(s) and conduct research on topics supported by OCE.Fellowships will include participation in a professional development program that emphasizes development of mentoring skills and that coordinates theinvolvementof Fellows in conferences and activities that are focused on increasing the engagement of underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals or permanent residents. Applicants who are women, veterans, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities in STEM, or who have attended community colleges and minority-serving institutions (e.g. Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, AlaskaNativeServing Institutions,and Hawaiian Native and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions) are especially encouraged to apply.
