Aim: The Simons Foundation invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships to support research on fundamental problems in marine microbial ecology. The foundation is particularly interested in applicants with training in different fields who want to apply their experience to understanding the role of microorganisms in shaping ocean processes, and vice versa, as well as applicants with experience in modeling or theory development. While these cross-disciplinary applicants will receive particular attention, applicants already involved in ocean research are also encouraged to apply. The foundation anticipates awarding five fellowships in 2018.
Duration: 3 years
Funding: USD $87,000/year ($62K stipend, $25K allowance)
Eligibility: Applicants should have received their Ph.D. or equivalent degree within three years of the fellowship’s start date. Preference will be for applicants with no more than one year of postdoctoral experience. Applicants may be citizens of any country. Awards can only be issued to nonprofit research universities or research institutions in the U.S.
How to Apply: Applications must be completed electronically and submitted using forms provided at proposalCENTRAL. Application should include a short summary of prior research experience, a brief research proposal, biosketches of relevant personal, letters of recommendation, a technical abstract, and a budget and justification.
