NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
Application Deadline: 15 January 2009
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) announces the 2009 recruitment for the NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. UCAR manages this NOAA-sponsored Collage program, which pairs recently graduated postdoctorates with host scientists at U.S. institutions to work in an area of mutual interest. The objective of this program is to help create the next generation of researchers needed for climate studies. It endeavors to attract recent PhD's in sciences that address studies of relevance to the NOAA Climate and Global Change Program (refer to NOAA's Web site at: www.climate.noaa.gov.
NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
Application deadline: 15 January 2009
The NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program was founded in 1990 through an agreement with Dr. J. Michael Hall and the UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs office. The NOAA Climate Program Office funds the program.
The purpose of the program is to help create and train the next generation of researchers needed for climate studies. It is anticipated that several contemporary NOAA efforts will generate a tremendous amount of data that will require the attention of an enlarged research community here and abroad. The project intends to attract new PhD's to the community in order to establish the seeds of scientific leadership for the expanded programs of the future. The program supports research on climate variations with time scales of seasons to centuries. To date, 146 appointments have been made to the program. See the Alumni listings for information on each appointment.
The NOAA C&GC program also organizes an annual Summer Institute in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship Program
Application Deadline: 30 January 2009
