Wiess Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship</b><br>
<br>
The Department of Earth Science at Rice University is launching a
Wiess Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship competition in the broad
fields of Earth, atmospheric, and planetary sciences. Interested
candidates should have recently completed their PhD or are expected
to complete their PhD by September 2016. The appointment of the
fellow is expected to begin anytime between July and December 2016.<br>
<br>
The principal selection criteria for the fellow are scientific
excellence and a clearly expressed research plan to address
questions at the forefront of Earth science, broadly defined.
Applicants are expected to propose their own research ideas, but are
encouraged to consider the current spectrum of research activities
in the department and to communicate with one or more members of the
faculty (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://earthscience.rice.edu/">http://earthscience.rice.edu/</a>).<br>
<br>
The research fellowship will be supported by the Department of Earth
Science for two years pending satisfactory progress in their first
year. The fellowship covers an annual stipend of $60,000 and
includes an annual research allowance of $3,500.<br>
<br>
Candidates are required to submit:<br>
(1) A cover letter addressed to the search committee chair <br>
(2) A research proposal of no more than 3 single-spaced pages
excluding references<br>
(3) A current CV<br>
(4) A list of publications<br>
(5) A list of four referees with full contact details<br>
<br>
All documents should be submitted as a single .pdf file to the chair
of the fellowship search committee (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:esci-postdoc@rice.edu">esci-postdoc@rice.edu</a>). The
application deadline is November 1, 2015. The highest ranked
candidates will be invited to visit Rice in early 2016, and the
decision of the award will be announced March 1, 2016.<br>
