[Susanne Demaree]

*NOAA Climate and Global Change*

*Postdoctoral Fellowships*

Application deadline: 8 January 2016





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.

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.



*Applications are due 8 January. *Appointments will be announced in March
2016.

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
*www.vsp.ucar.edu/cgc* <http://www.vsp.ucar.edu/cgc>.



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.



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.

apply, please visit: *www.vsp.ucar.edu/cgc <http://www.vsp.ucar.edu/cgc>*.
