<p style="margin-top:0in;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212529">The California Institute of Technology is offering the O.K. Earl fellowship in Geological and Planetary Sciences beginning in the fall of
2024. The O.K. Earl Fellowship is funded by an endowment from Orrin K. Earl, Jr. to support the research of scientists typically within two years after receipt of the Ph.D. Its goal is to identify and support innovative and creative work in the earth and planetary
sciences, with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary work, and to nurture the careers of exceptional individuals who contribute to a diverse and inclusive scientific workforce. Applicants with training in physics, chemistry, biology, or computer sciences
are encouraged to apply. The Division is currently active in geobiology, geochemistry, geology, geophysics, petrology, seismology, atmospheric, oceanic, and planetary sciences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;margin-bottom:1rem">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212529">This fellowship carries an annual stipend of $74,000 plus a research expense fund of $10,000/year and up to $1,500 for one-way travel costs to Pasadena. The duration of the appointment
is two years, contingent upon completion of a Ph.D. degree and good progress in the first year. Fellows are eligible to participate in Caltech’s benefit programs, including health and dental programs. It is expected that the fellowship recipient be hosted
by one or more division professors (designated by the Chair) who will provide mentorship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
