Title: EAR Postdoctoral Fellowships

Brief Description: The Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) awards Postdoctoral Fellowships to highly qualified investigators within 3 years of obtaining their PhD to carry out an integrated program of independent research and education. The research and education plans of each fellowship must address scientific questions within the scope of EAR disciplines. The program supports researchers for a period of up to 2 years with fellowships that can be taken to the institution or national facility of their choice. The program is intended to recognize beginning investigators of significant potential, and provide them with experience in research and education that will establish them in leadership positions in the Earth Sciences community. Because the fellowships are offered only to postdoctoral scientists early in their career, doctoral advisors are encouraged to discuss the availability of EAR fellowships with their graduate students early in their doctoral programs. Fellowships are awards to individuals, not institutions, and are administered by the Fellows.

Proposed Funding: $85,000

Agency Deadline: Jul 01, 2009 Full Proposal Deadline(s): July 01, 2009 July 1, Annually Thereafter

Title: Earthwatch Educator Fellowships Available to Sponsor Participation in International and U.S. Conservation Expeditions

Brief Description: The Earthwatch Institute and its partners offer a number of Educator Fellowships every year to elementary, middle, and high school educators and administrators.

Earthwatch seeks adventurous, innovative science educators who have an interest in conservation, sustainability, and life-long learning. Participating educators work alongside leading field scientists on some of the most important environmental issues facing the planet today. Educators may help an endangered species, unearth an ancient society, or protect threatened habitats.

Applications are considered based on available funding in the applicant's geographic region, financial need, and the benefits that would result from participating on an Earthwatch expedition. Fellows are assigned to projects according to their interests, skills, availability, project need, and grant restrictions.

Fellowships cover participants' on-site expedition costs, which include the support of the scientific research, food, accommodations, on-site travel, and all the various costs of fieldwork (permits, equipment, etc.). Certain awards also offer reimbursement for travel expenses associated with getting to the project site and back.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis during the school year. Applications received by March have the best chances of being funded.(Note: This program requires an application fee of $35, which includes a free year of Earthwatch membership.)

Visit the Earthwatch Web site for a list of available fellowships and application procedures and deadlines.
