<p>The Hibbitt Early Career Fellows Program provides talented scientists
a rare opportunity: the chance to set up research programs of their own
as an alternative to traditional postdoctoral positions. Recent Ph.D.
(or equivalent degree) graduates with proven excellence in research will
be given the necessary resources to work as P.I.’s, free from financial
constraints and distraction by formal faculty responsibilities. As
their research program matures, Fellows will be able to attract funding
from federal grants or other sources. </p>
<p>Hibbitt Fellows can take advantage of MBL’s unique research
environment and resources, in the context of the collegial and
supportive network of MBL’s “<a href="http://www.mbl.edu/research/mbl-scientists/">Faculty of 500</a>”, including scientists from the year-round resident program, the Whitman Center program, and the MBL Fellows program.</p>
<p>Applications are encouraged in research areas that can benefit from
and contribute to MBL’s strategic strengths, in particular those
relevant to <strong>marine and aquatic organismal biology</strong> and/or <strong>marine microbial diversity and ecology</strong>.</p>
<p>Hibbitt Early Career Fellows will be based at the MBL full-time. They
will receive an annual salary plus benefits and an additional research
and travel stipend. Initial appointment will be for three years, with
possibility of extension to five years given satisfactory progress. For
details on application requirements, reference the <a href="http://www.mbl.edu/research/hibbitt-early-career-fellows-program-faq/">FAQ section</a>.</p><p><a href="http://www.mbl.edu/research/hibbitt-early-career-fellows-program/?platform=hootsuite">http://www.mbl.edu/research/hibbitt-early-career-fellows-program/?platform=hootsuite</a><br></p>
