SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON ANTARCTIC RESEARCH (SCAR)

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: September 9, 2024.

LOCATION: United Kingdom

The SCAR Fellowship Program 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.

ELIGIBILITY:

SCAR fellowships are open to researchers within 5 years of finishing their PhD in Antarctic and Southern Ocean-related disciplines. Full details of eligibility can be found on the information page.

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. Fellowships are awarded on the selection criteria for competitive selection, which are clearly stated in the Evaluation section on the Information page.

Topics of projects proposed should align with SCAR’s mission and ideally with one or more of our various groups. SCAR fellowships are open to researchers from SCAR member countries.

BENEFIT:

4-5 awards for 2024

Up to USD $15,000 per award;

Home institute to bear in-home country costs (e.g. visa costs, domestic travel);

Host institute to waive bench fees, if any.
