Deadline: 1 August 2016
The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation is currently inviting applications for its Postdoctoral Fellowship Program with an aim to seek the development of scientific leadership in the field of environmental chemistry.
Research Areas of Interest
- Applications most likely to be of interest should describe innovative fundamental research in the chemical sciences or engineering related to the environment.
- The importance of the research should be explained.
- Examples include but are not limited to the chemistry associated with: the climate, the atmosphere, aquatic or marine settings, toxicology, soil or groundwater. Also of interest are chemistry-related energy research (renewable sources, sequestration, etc.), and new or green approaches to chemical synthesis and processing, both with a clearly stated relation to the environment.
Funding Information
The Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry provides a $120,000 award, payable in two $60,000 installments. Funds are normally expended over a period of two years after the appointment of the Fellow.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry is open to all academic and other not-for-profit organizations in the States, Districts, and Territories of the United States of America.
- Applications are accepted from principal investigators who have well-established research efforts in environmental science or engineering.
- These research activities need not be located in traditional departments in the chemical sciences, and collaboration across departments and institutions is encouraged.
- The postdoctoral fellow is usually not already identified nor in the principal investigator’s lab at the time of application.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted via email.
