<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt">Dear All,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt">The NSF LTER program has partnered with the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center to support synthesis postdoctoral fellowships. This exciting opportunity
has just been announced (see <a href="http://sesync.org/opportunities/sesync-lter-synthesis-postdoctoral-fellowships" target="_blank">
http://sesync.org/opportunities/sesync-lter-synthesis-postdoctoral-fellowships</a>). The goal of this opportunity is to engage early-career researchers in the synthesis of long-term data sets, on-going experiments, and model results, recognizing synthesis as
an important goal of LTER research. Syntheses must involve LTER data, but applicants are encouraged to include additional long-term data collected outside of the LTER network.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt">Both SESYNC and NSF hope to attract applicants from within LTER as well as from the broader ecological community. We hope you will help to spread the word to recent
PhDs who are particularly interested in data synthesis. Each applicant will also identify a Research Mentor and Collaborator – again, we hope to draw collaborators and mentors from a broad range of backgrounds and communities. Please consider acting as a collaborator
and mentor yourselves.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt">Cindy Wei at SESYNC is the contact for questions about the application process and the program. If you have questions, you are also always welcome to contact the
NSF management team.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt">We look forward to an exciting group of applicants and to the syntheses that will result,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
