The deadlines for two funding opportunities for early career marine geoscientists are rapidly approaching. We would like to bring these opportunities to your attention, and encourage you to share this information with others who may be interested. We strongly encourage qualified candidates to apply. Below is information on both programs. Please feel free to contact Barbara Ransom at NSF (bransom<at>nsf.gov) for more information.
**OCE Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (solicitation # NSF 14-607)
Submission Deadline: December 8, 2014
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2014/nsf14607/nsf14607.pdf
This fellowship is intended to recognize beginning investigators of significant potential and provide them with experience that will establish them in positions of leadership in the scientific community. The grant provides a $62k/yr stipend for up to 24 months, up to $25k/yr for expenses and benefits, and up to $10k/yr for international collaboration. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents of the USA. They must have received their PhD by the start of the fellowship, must be within 2 years of getting their PhD, must not have concurrently submitted the same project to another postdoctoral program, and must be doing research within the spectrum of the sciences funded by the Division of Ocean Sciences.
**OCE Research Initiation Grants (solicitation # NSF 13-606)
Submission Deadline: January 12, 2015
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13606/nsf13606.pdf
This program provides startup funding for researchers who have been recently appointed to tenure track (or equivalent) positions at US academic institutions, with the twin goals of enhancing their research careers and broadening the participation of under-represented groups in ocean sciences. Award amounts are up to $100k total for 12 to 24 months and no salary can be involved. Applicants must be US citizens, nationals or permanent residents of the USA, are in or have been accepted to a tenure track Assistant Professor/Researcher or equivalent position at a US academic institution, and have not been in that position for more than 3 years. Qualified applicants must have no salary support as a Principal Investigator (PI) on any federal research grant since starting their position and must be doing research within the spectrum of the sciences funded by the Division of Ocean Sciences.
