An applicant must have a Ph.D. or Sc. D. degree granted in an area related to NCAR science during the four years preceding the application date, or must be able to complete such a degree before starting the NCAR appointment. We encourage applications from women and minorities. There are no additional restrictions for foreign applicants. These stipends are adjusted annually in June based on surveys of like institutions.
All appointees are eligible for life and health insurance.
A small allowance for moving and storing personal belongings is provided. The number of new appointments varies somewhat from year to year. This year we anticipate that 8 to 10 new positions will be available. Appointments are for a maximum of two years. Most fellows begin their appointments between June and October, but earlier or later arrivals can usually be accommodated.
