NEON Postdoctoral Fellows will receive funding for a period of two years, contingent on successful performance and available funding. The Postdoctoral Fellows will be expected to leverage NEON data in collaboration with NEON staff and community contributors to generate scientific outcomes and peer-reviewed publications, while engaging the scientific community in NEON data use and potentially generating new tools to facilitate use of NEON data.

NEON scientists suited to the Fellows’ areas of interest will be identified, and one will be designated as an internal NEON mentor for each Fellow. Fellows will have access to Battelle’s training opportunities in project and personnel management, as desired.
