Stanback Prize Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Global Environmental Science
California Institute of Technology, California, United States
Apply before: 11 November 2022


The Foster and Coco Stanback Postdoctoral Fellowship

Applications Due: November 11, 2022

The California Institute of Technology invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in global environmental science beginning in the fall of 2023.

The intent of the program is to support innovative and creative early career scientists working in global environmental science, including research in areas such as climate adaptation and mitigation, environmental microbiology, terrestrial and marine biogeochemistry, glaciology, paleo-climatology, atmospheric chemistry and composition, physical oceanography, and climate dynamics.

We seek to nurture the careers of exceptional individuals who contribute to a diverse and inclusive scientific workforce.

The fellowship is funded in part by an endowment provided by Foster and Coco Stanback. It carries an annual stipend of $74,000 plus a research expense fund of $10,000 and up to $1,500 for one-way travel costs to Pasadena. The duration of the appointment is normally two years, contingent upon completion of the Ph.D. degree and good progress in the first year. Fellows are eligible to participate in Caltech’s benefit programs, including health and dental programs. The Stanback Fellow will be hosted by one or more professors who will provide both financial support and mentorship.

To be eligible for the Stanback, candidates should have received their Ph.D. no earlier than April 1, 2022, except in exceptional circumstances.

Materials in support of an application should include curriculum vitae, list of publications, a one-page statement of research interests, and three letters of reference. Complete applications including letters of reference are due by November 11, 2022.

Fellowship candidates will automatically be considered for other available postdoctoral positions at Caltech in their fields of interest.
