Postdoctoral and Senior Awards
Dear Department Head:
As you know, the National Research Council of the National Academies sponsors a number of awards for postdoctoral researchers at federal laboratories. These awards provide generous stipends ($36,000 - $65,000), and the opportunity to do independent research in some of the best-equipped and staffed laboratories in the country.
We ask your assistance in informing doctoral students in your department of these opportunities by copying this message to each one.
Detailed program information, including instructions on how to apply, is available on the NRC Research Associateship Programs Web site at:
Questions should be directed to the NRC at 202-334-2760 (tel) or rap@nas.edu .
There will be four review cycles annually. Upcoming deadline dates are:
November 1, 2004
February 1, 2005
May 1, 2005
August 1, 2005
Applicants should begin a dialog with prospective advisors at the lab as early as possible, before their anticipated application deadline.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely yours,
H. Ray Gamble
Director of the Fellowship Programs
