The Office of Fellowships and Internships is offering an Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowship in the area of stable isotope sciences. Research proposals must integrate the use of stable isotopes (2H/1H, 13C/12C, 15N/14N, and 18O/16O) into their specific research questions. Stable isotope analysis must comprise a significant portion of the research. The successful applicant will conduct analyses 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 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 here<http://www.smithsonianofi.com/fellowship-opportunities/smithsonian-institution-fellowship-program/> for details on the SI fellowship program.
Applicants must propose to conduct research in-residence for a period of 12 months, at least 4 months of which will be spent on-site at the MCI or STRI laboratory.
Please go here<http://www.smithsonianofi.com/fellowship-opportunities/smithsonian-institution-fellowship-program/> for details on the SI fellowship program. Applications must be submitted by December 1, 2014.
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. Prior Isotope Fellows are not eligible. Please consult the research staff listed in SORS<http://www.smithsonianofi.com/sors-introduction/>.
