[ES_JOBS_NET] EAPS Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships-MIT

[Karen M Fosher]

The Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in the Department of Earth (EAPS), Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences supports exceptional early-career scientists with interests in the broad range of disciplines represented in the department. Fellows are expected to pursue independent research, but also encouraged to collaborate with at least one faculty member in the department. Applicants are should contact prospective faculty hosts whose primary affiliation is in EAPS. MIT postdoctoral researchers receive mentoring and opportunities for career development throughout the postdoctoral period.

The program typically appoints two new fellows each year through a competitive process. Appointments are for two years. Each fellow receives an annual stipend of $64,000, full coverage of premiums for affiliate health and basic dental and vision insurance, and an allowance of $5,000 per year for research and relocation expenses.

Each selected fellow is appointed to a named fellowship depending on disciplinary interests. Named fellowships include the Lorenz Fellowship, the Crosby Fellowship, and the Houghton Fellowship. Houghton fellows are additionally invited to contribute to educational activities in the department, at a level to be determined in consultation with the faculty mentor.
