Application Deadline: 9 September 2024.
Applications are now open for the 2024 Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Fellowship Programme.
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) initiated the SCAR Fellowship Programme in 2002. The aim was to encourage the active involvement of early-career researchers in Antarctic scientific research and to build new connections and further strengthen international capacity and cooperation in Antarctic research.
The SCAR Fellowship Programme is designed to encourage the active involvement of early-career researchers in furthering our understanding of Antarctica. The Fellowships enable early-career researchers to join a project team from another country, opening up new opportunities and often creating partnerships that last many years and over many Antarctic research seasons.
Requirements
- The SCAR Fellowship Programme is for PhD students, or those within five years of having completed a PhD, to undertake research at major international laboratories, field facilities, and/or institutes in or operated by SCAR member countries with the goal of exposing them to recent advances in research and to develop long-term scientific links and partnerships.
- The work must be carried out in a research group of a SCAR member country different from that of the applicant’s origin and current residence.
AWARD:
- Home institute to bear in-home country costs (e.g. visa costs, domestic travel);
- 4-5 awards for 2024
- Up to USD $15,000 per award;
- Host institute to waive bench fees, if any.
