Fwd: SCAR Science Group Fellowships

Just passing on this call from SCAR:

Dear colleagues,

 

SCAR is excited to announce a new opportunity for early and mid-career researchers: The SCAR Science Group Fellowship Programme.

The SCAR Science Group Fellowship Programme is designed to encourage the active involvement of early and mid-career researchers in the work of the permanent, disciplinary Science Groups (SGs) to mentor potential future SCAR leaders and promote professional development. 

A fellow will be assigned to each of the three SGs – GeosciencesLife Sciences and Physical Sciences. This fellowship programme is funded for two years. 

Each fellowship award is for US$10,000 per year. Funds can be used as a stipend; to cover the costs of travel to attend workshops, symposia and/or business meetings; or for other purposes as determined in consultation with the Chief Officer of the SG. Initial appointments are for one year. First-year fellows can apply for the second year, but a second year is not guaranteed. 

The programme is for researchers from SCAR member countries (full or associate). PhD students or those within ten years of having completed a PhD on the day of the deadline for applications can apply. In special cases, this ten-year period may be extended. Prior work with SCAR is not a requirement to apply, but any involvement with SCAR should be included in the application. Researchers from countries with developing Antarctic programmes (e.g., SCAR Associate Member countries) are encouraged to apply. 

Application review will begin December 18, 2023; for full consideration please submit your application by this date.
