<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:12.05pt"><span style="font-family:Arial">The UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs announces the 2016 recruitment for
NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowships (C&GC). The
fellowship program has an outstanding reputation of attracting the best and the
brightest PhDs in the sciences relevant to the <i>NOAA Climate and Global
Change Program</i>. Appointed fellows are hosted by a mentoring scientist at
U.S. universities and research institutions to work in an area of mutual
interest. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">NOAA Climate and Global
Change Postdoctoral Fellows focus on observing understanding, modeling, and
predicting climate variability and change on seasonal and longer time scales.
This includes the documentation and analysis of past, current, or possible
future climate variability and change and the study of the underlying physical,
chemical, and biological processes.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:12.05pt"><b><span style="font-family:Arial">Applications are due 8 January. </span></b><span style="font-family:Arial">Appointments will be announced in March 2016.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Preference is given to those
who have held a PhD for no more than three years. Awardees must change
institutions and identify a host, who must be at a U.S. institution. A clearly
articulated research proposal is particularly important. A steering committee,
broadly representing the areas covered by this program, selects the fellows.
The selection criteria used by the steering committee in making the awards is
available at </span><a href="http://www.vsp.ucar.edu/cgc"><b><span style="font-family:Arial">www.vsp.ucar.edu/cgc</span></b></a><span style="font-family:Arial">.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Advanced contact with a
potential host is <b><i>required</i></b>. Interested host scientists are required to submit a
brief letter of intent to host the fellow and a curriculum vita. Hosts are
expected to mentor the fellow and cover office, computing, laboratory, and
field research needs of the fellow as appropriate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-family:Arial;color:windowtext">C&GC
fellows are UCAR employees and receive a fixed annual salary plus UCAR’s
benefits (health and dental insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, TIAA/CREF
retirement fund, and life insurance). Allowances are provided for relocation
and scientific travel during the appointment. Some funds may be available to
support the cost of publications. </span></p>
