[ES_JOBS_NET] Pan Postdoctoral Fellowship at Rice University

[Sylvia Dee]

The Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Rice
University is seeking applications for the Pan Postdoctoral Research
Fellowship.

The Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences (EEPS) at
Rice University (eeps.rice.edu) invites applications for the Pan
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. We seek candidates with independent
research interests that intersect with one or more faculty within our
department and who contribute positively to the Rice EEPS community,
including its education and outreach efforts. Both domestic and
international applicants are welcome. Upon starting the position,
candidates must have received their PhD within the last three years.

The research fellowship will be supported for two years --- pending
satisfactory progress during the first year --- and includes an annual
stipend of $68,000 with a benefits package, an annual discretionary
research allowance of $5,000, and an allowance for re-location expenses.
Applicants are requested to develop a proposal of research to be undertaken
during the fellowship. The principal selection criteria are scientific
excellence, the applicant’s record of research productivity, a clearly
expressed research plan to address questions at the forefront of their
field within EEPS, research synergies with at least one faculty, and a
commitment to inclusive participation in science. The proposed research
should explore new directions beyond the applicant’s Ph.D. Preference will
be given to applicants whose proposals demonstrate independence and
originality, along with the potential for collaboration with one or more
EEPS faculty.
