Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Applications due November 1, 2012 Please visit www.sesync.org/programs/postdocs for further details The National Socio-environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), located in Annapolis, Maryland, invites applications for 2 year postdoctoral fellowships that begin February 2013. Fellows will undertake independent social, environmental, or cyber-infrastructure synthesis projects that are consistent with the mission of SESYNC. In addition to leading independent synthesis research, SESYNC fellows spend much of their time (~30%) on collaborative center activities, which could include such efforts as working with a Pursuit team, working on a cross-Pursuit or cross-Theme synthesis project, organizing a workshop, developing an education, policy, or outreach activity, or exploring visualization and other cyber tools. SESYNC postdoctoral fellows will be based in our facilities in Annapolis, Maryland, with the possibility of spending some time at our partner organization, Resources for the Future, located in Washington, DC. SESYNC offers substantial computational support for fellows, as well as a dynamic, collaborative learning environment. Postdocs will receive an annual stipend, full University of Maryland employee benefits, and a small annual travel allowance for meetings. Fellows will have two mentors-– a professional mentor on-site at SESYNC and a domain mentor. The domain mentor should be at a SESYNC partner institution or be an established scholar elsewhere who will travel to SESYNC at least twice a year to work with the fellow. ELIGIBILITY We seek a diverse group of postdoctoral fellows with PhDs in social and natural sciences. Areas of previous research should be relevant to socio-environmental synthesis or synthesis education, including anthropology, computer science, ecology, education, economics, geography, history, mathematics, political science, psychology, public policy, planning, sociology, statistics, etc. APPLICATION DEADLINE AND SUBMISSION PROCESS The deadline for applications for fellowships is November 1, 2012 for fellowships beginning in February 2013.

The fellowships are tenable during Harvard's academic year beginning in September 2012. Fellowships are available for 10 months (September 2012-May 2013), 12 months (September 2012-August 2013), the fall 2012 semester or spring 2013 semester (mid-career fellows only), or for two academic years (postdoctoral fellows only) (September 2012-August 2014). Each year, the Sustainability Science Program recruits approximately 15-20 fellows to work with one another and with Harvard faculty. Candidates who are offered a fellowship will be paired with a Harvard faculty member who has related interests. Applicants may identify a potential faculty member(s) with whom they would like to do research in the on-line application, but applicants should not try to secure a commitment from a faculty member before applying. (Unfortunately many faculty are not able to talk with the very large number of candidates who express initial interest in the fellowship. After a fellowship is awarded, however, they will be available to discuss whether there is a match of research interests with particular applicants.) A list of Harvard faculty with interests related to sustainability science is provided on the web pages of the Sustainability Science Program Faculty Affiliates and the Center for the Environment. Any member of the teaching faculty from any discipline at Harvard can serve as a faculty sponsor, regardless of whether the faculty member has had a prior affiliation with the Sustainability Science Program.

APS Early Career Advocacy Fellowship Application deadline: November 16, 2012 The APS Early Career Advocacy Fellowship seeks to engage early career investigators in advocacy activities and provide them with skills to become long-term advocates for scientific research. In addition, experienced members of the APS Science Policy Committee (SPC) will mentor participants in developing their advocacy skills. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, members in good standing of the APS, and have received their doctoral degree within the previous ten years. APS Early Career Advocacy Fellows will attend an orientation session at the Experimental Biology meeting to learn about the Society’s advocacy efforts and receive preliminary training for their Capitol Hill visits.

Strand Professional Opportunity Award Application Deadline: November 8, 2012 Award: $1000 + advance EB meeting registration reimbursement The Fleur L. Strand Award was established to recognize the achievements of a young physiologist, (graduate student or postdoctoral), enabling the recipient to attend the APS annual meeting at the Experimental Biology meeting. The Award is named in honor of Dr. Fleur L. Strand, Professor Emeritus, New York University. Dr. Strand was the first to show that stress-evoked hormones, such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), could have a direct effect on peripheral systems, such as muscle, independent of the adrenal gland. This effect was demonstrated in developing and regenerating neuromuscular systems. It was previously believed that ACTH could only act through the adrenal gland. The award is open to a physiologist working in any area of research. To be considered for the award, the candidate must be the first author of an abstract submitted to the APS annual meeting and must be a member of APS at the time of application (either Student or Regular). To receive the award, recipients must attend EB, present a paper at the meeting, and attend the APS Business Meeting. The awardee receives $1,000 and complimentary registration for the Experimental Biology meeting. The annual Fleur L. Strand Professional Opportunity Award will be granted to the top tum Suden applicant who presents a contributed paper at the meeting. Application deadline coincides with EB abstract deadline (Nov. 8, 2012). Apply Now Questions about these awards?

Dear colleagues, The European Research Networking Programme "Frontiers of Speciation Research", supported by 18 National Funding Organizations in member countries of the European Science Foundation, is inviting applications for travel grants intended to foster collaborations between European researchers working on topics related to the Programme. Support is available for short visits (up to 2 weeks) and exchange grants (up to 3 months), with preference given to junior researchers at a graduate or postdoctoral level. Applicants will want to keep in mind that, owing to the difference in costs, applications for short visits are more likely to be successful than applications for exchange grants. Applications are reviewed quarterly after a submission deadline of 24:00 CET on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September, and 15 December. About 4-6 weeks after each deadline, the ESF will inform applicants about the outcome of evaluations.
