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. Because we need to receive these letters by the application deadline, these names should be sent to us by 5 December 2000 . Alternately, applicants may request reference letters to be sent directly to NCAR by the author. This statement is not a commitment to conduct the outlined work, but is important evidence of the applicant's ability to plan an appropriate scientific project. Applications and reference letters should be received at NCAR no later than 5 January 2001 in order to be considered for fellowship awards to begin in 2001.
