degree and be within the first three years of degree conferral.

satisfactory progress during the first year --- and includes an annual

are scientific excellence, the applicant’s record of research productivity,
a clearly expressed research plan to address questions at the forefront of
their field of study, research synergies with at least one faculty, and a
commitment to fostering diversity. The proposed research should encompass
independent research ideas and explore new directions beyond the

demonstrate independence and originality, and also the potential for
collaboration with one or more faculty in the Department of Earth,
Environmental and Planetary Sciences.
