How Hosting Institutions Apply

Announcing the 2013 recruitment for
Jack Eddy Postdoctoral Fellowships
Deadline is 11 January 2013

Responsibilities of Host:

In order to succeed at such cross-disciplinary research, the host institution and the mentoring scientists will play critical roles. Consequently, applicants must select a host scientist who is different than their PhD advisor (preferably at a different institution), and coordinate a joint application with the host scientist and institution. Potential host scientists are required to submit letters of intent and vitas as part of the selection process.

Interested hosts should send the following materials to the UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs at vspapply@ucar.edu:

One or two-page letter of intent to host a specific fellow or describing the type of background preferred.
Curriculum vitae, including publications (two-page limit).
A list of current and pending research support.

Hosts are expected to mentor the fellow as well as provide office space, a computer workstation, and any other unique research costs associated with this fellowship. UCAR sets aside some funds to help off set the high cost of publishing scientific results, but we request that hosts also help the postdoctoral fellows with some of these costs.
