This includes agencies like NASA, Department of the Interior, Dept. of Commerce (NOAA), EPA, Dept. of Transportation (FAA, etc.), and many others. ALL federal jobs are posted on USAJobs. *Government jobs can rock!* They can include opportunities to do research, stable pay, sweet benefits (health care, retirement, etc.), opportunities to move to new jobs or locations, and a generally good work-life balance. Interested? See below. *TIPS on Applying for jobs with the federal government: * - Take time to create a profile on USAJobs' website. See the attached handout and PDF for pointers. - Jobs are posted for about 2 weeks only. - Contact field offices and build connections there. They can then select you for an interview through USAJobs if they have an opportunity. - Read about the job categories and how to rate yourself on skills. People have varying thoughts on the latter. *TIPS on applying with government contractors* - About one-third of entry-level people doing work for the federal government actually work for contractors. - Talk to people in field offices (e.g. USGS, NOAA) of interest, and find out which contractors they typically work with. - Contact the contractors and send them your resume/CV, etc. - Always try to develop connections with people in the field offices. - See the Article on how to find government contract jobs . - See the attached document with a *NOAA list of contractors*. Again, it is important to connect with people in the field offices so that they will know who you are, and be able to find you on USAJobs. Find out who is doing what research and where, and read up on their research. Ideally write to individuals with a question or two about their research or publication first. After you connect, later send them your CV. (Just some ideas). Val -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It says it is intended for beginning investigators, you might check with the contact provided about your eligibility. Other NSF GEO Divisions and Directorates have programs to look at as well. Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (AGS-PRF) The Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) awards Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (PRF) to highly qualified early career investigators to carry out an independent research program. The research plan of each Fellowship must address scientific questions within the scope of AGS disciplines. The program supports researchers for a period of up to 2 years with Fellowships that can be taken to the institution of their choice. The program is intended to recognize beginning investigators of significant potential and provide them with experience in research that will broaden perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions and help establish them in leadership positions within the Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences community. Fellowships are awards to individuals, not institutions, and are administered by the Fellows. Upcoming due dates Full proposal accepted anytime Proposals are accepted at any time. However, different programs may have preferred target windows so please contact the relevant program director early in the planning process for submission. Thanks, Val-- Valerie Sloan, Ph.D. Director of the GEO REU Network & Sr. Higher Education Specialist NCAR Education, Engagement and Early-Career Development P.O.

There are about 15 awards to be made. Please share with others. Ocean Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (OCE-PRF) *Synopsis of Program:* The Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) offers postdoctoral research fellowships (PRF) to provide opportunities for scientists early in their careers to work within and across traditional disciplinary lines, develop partnerships, and avail themselves of unique research resources, sites and facilities. The fellowship program is intended to provide beginning investigators of significant potential with experiences that will establish them in positions of leadership in the scientific community. During tenure, Fellows affiliate with a host research organization(s) and conduct research on topics supported by OCE or other ocean-related NSF programs. Fellowships will include participation in a professional development program that emphasizes development of mentoring skills and that coordinates the involvement of Fellows in conferences and activities that are focused on increasing the engagement of underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Principal Investigators must be U.S. citizens, nationals or permanent residents. Principal Investigators who are women, veterans, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities in STEM, or who have attended community colleges and minority-serving institutions (e.g. Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Alaska Native Serving Institutions, and Hawaiian Native and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions) are especially encouraged to apply. *Who May Serve as PI:* To be eligible to submit a proposal to the OCE-PRF Program, an individual must, as of the full proposal target date, meet all the following criteria: - Be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident (i.e., have a "green card") at the time the proposal is submitted; - Have earned the doctoral degree (PhD), or expect to have earned the doctoral degree prior to the required start date of the fellowship; - Not have worked for more than a total of 24 full-time-equivalent months in positions that require the doctoral degree; - Present a project plan that falls within the purview of NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences oceanographic research priorities; and - Not have submitted concurrently the same project to another program. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
