[Sasnet] Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry Postdoctoral Fellowship

[Speakman, Jeff]

The Office of the Undersecretary of Science at the Smithsonian Institution is offering an Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowship in the area of stable isotope biogeochemistry.  Research proposals must integrate the use of stable isotopes (2H/1H, 13C/12C, 15N/14N, and 18O/16O) into their specific research questions.  Isotope analyses will be conducted at one of the two Pan-Institutional isotope facilities (OUSS/MCI Stable Isotope Mass Spectrometry Facility in Suitland, MD or at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama City, Panama).  Applicants interested in this fellowship are strongly encouraged to contact potential advisors/hosts at any of the Smithsonian's various Museums and Research Units prior to proposal preparation and submission. Please consult the research staff listed for the Museum, Research Units, and Offices at the links to Smithsonian Opportunities for Research and Study' below.

Applicants must propose to conduct research in-residence for a period of 12 to 24 months. Please note that each applicant should start their Title with Stable Isotope Postdoc. Applicants must have completed or be near completion of the Ph.D. Recipients who have not completed the Ph.D. at the time of application must provide proof of completion of the degree before the fellowship begins.  Please go to http://www.si.edu/ofg/ for details on the SI fellowship program. Applications must be postmarked by Jan 15, 2010. Note that because of the late announcement for this fellowship that the SI Office of Fellowships does have this opportunity listed on their web page. Application forms are available at http://www.si.edu/ofg/Applications/SIFELL/SIFELLapp.htm
