Are you or anyone you know looking for a Postdoc Fellowship starting in Fall 2024? The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences () at the University of Colorado Boulder is inviting applications to their annual Visiting Fellows Program (VFP). The fellowships are intended to stimulate interdisciplinary research across the institute. Two-year Visiting Fellowships are available for postdoctoral researchers, and terms of up to 12 months for senior scientists on leave or sabbatical. VFP applicants require the support of a current Fellow or Senior Research Scientist, who would serve as the host if the application is successful.
The University of Colorado Boulder and will be hosting the Summit for the Fourth International Conference for Arctic Research Planning ( IV) in March 2025. IV is a multi-year process to consider the most urgent knowledge gaps and Arctic research needs for the next decade, and to explore avenues to address these priorities. IV is an important milestone toward planning the next International Polar Year () in 2032/33.
If you or anyone you know may be interested in aligning a VFP application with IV in some way (for example, developing research synthesis reports or other scholarly contributions, supporting the consultation phase of IV, or leading in shaping implementation plans) please reach out to Matthew Druckenmiller (druckenmiller@colorado.edu), who is co-chairing the Local Host Committee for the IV Summit, and is an alumni of the VFP program himself.
The deadline for VFP applications is January 2, 2024. Visit the VFP webpage for more information. Applications are highly encouraged from members of groups under-represented in the environmental sciences and related disciplines.
