<p>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 NOAA Climate and Global Change
Program. Appointed fellows are hosted by a mentoring
scientist at U.S. universities and research
institutions to work in an area of mutual interest.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Applications are due<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>8 January</b>.
Appointments will be announced in March 2016.</p>
<p>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

<p>Advanced contact with a potential host is required.
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
