The application deadline is February 2, 2001. Applications are received on an ongoing basis and can be submitted at any time. Most research opportunities at ARL are only open to U.S. citizens. The selected participants will work in an Army laboratory with senior ARL scientists and engineers. Fellowships are awarded for one year, but may be renewed for a second and third year based upon the recommendation of the fellow's advisor and availability of laboratory funds.
Higher stipends are available for senior appointments.
The program provides participants with family health insurance and life and disability insurance. Travel and relocation funds are also available. The program is designed to increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas that are of interest and relevance to the Navy. There is also a special initiative to increase the number of female postdoctoral participants in the program. The ONR Postdoctoral Fellowship Program provides up to 40 new postdoctoral appointments per year.
