National Research Council Postdoctoral Awards
The National Research Council of the National Academies sponsors
approximately 400 new awards each year for postdoctoral research at federal
laboratories. These awards provide generous stipends ($38,000 - $61,000),
health insurance, relocation and professional travel. Awardees have the
opportunity to do independent research in some of the best-equipped and
staffed laboratories in the country. Program laboratories include over 120
locations throughout the U.S. and represent all disciplines of science and
engineering. There are four review cycles annually. Upcoming deadline dates
are: August 1, 2003; November 1, 2003; February 1, 2004, and May 1, 2004.
For further information and application materials, prospective applicants
should visit the Research Associateship Programs Web site at:

Science News
SCAR publication
One of the functions of the Polar Research
Board is to serve as the US National Committee to SCAR (the Scientific
Committee on Antarctic Research). In this role, we have attempted to keep a
list of people interested in receiving SCAR publications and we disseminated
things like the SCAR Bulletins and SCAR Reports. Since these were shipped to
us via surface mail, and in limited quantities, they were not widely
distributed and often arrived very late. Lately, you have been receiving
much better and more timely information in briefings on ANSWER from Chuck
Kennicutt, the US Delegate to SCAR.
In another step at improving communications about SCAR, we are pleased to
announce that SCAR is now regularly posting its publications regularly on
their website. They are no longer shipping us multiple paper copies for
distribution (although we maintain a master file here in the PRB office).
For instance, SCAR Bulletins 150 and 151, from the September 2002 ATCM
meeting in Poland, and SCAR Bulletin 149, results from the July 2002 SCAR
meeting in China, are all available in full online. As future issues are
available, we will post reminders like this one on ANSWER.
For your reference, the main SCAR website is:
http://www.scar.org./
SCAR Bulletins are specifically available at:

Summer Programs, Courses, Internships, Meetings
IAI Summer Institute "Global Warming and Climate Changes: Causes,
Mitigation Alternatives and International Actions". It will be held
in Piracicaba, Brazil, in November 10-22, 2003.
The announcement (in PDF format) can be found in the IAI Summer
Institutes 2003 Website, at "http://www.IAISummerInstitutes.iai.int".
Notice that you can also use that area to make your subscription
on-line. Should you have a problem to access the site or read the
documents, please send an e-mail to "iaiweb@dir.iai.int", with an
explanation about the problem.

Student Opportunity
EPA plans to award approximately 50 graduate fellowships for
master's and doctoral level students in environmentally
related fields of study. A total of approximately $1.85 million is
expected to be available annually, with individual fellowships providing
up to $37,000 per year of support. Master's level students may receive
support for a maximum of two years. Doctoral students may be supported
for a maximum of three years, under certain circumstances, over a period
of four years. Students do not need to be enrolled in or formally accepted
in a full-time graduate program at the time they apply for a fellowship, but
proof of enrollment or acceptance must be produced prior to the award of
the fellowship. Students also must attend a fully accredited U.S. college
or university. Only citizens of the U.S. or its territories or possessions, or
those lawfully admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence, are eligible
to apply. Pre-applications are due November 20, 2003.

This newsletter has been developed by C. Susan Weiler for the purpose
of distributing information of potential interest to recent PhDs
engaged in interdisciplinary aquatic science or climate change
research, and to build an international sense of community among
recent grads. It provides an international forum for the exchange of
information and opinions regarding research, professional and social
issues.
The views and opinions expressed are strictly those of C.S. Weiler or
of the individual who has submitted a particular item for
distribution. The opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those
of the funding agencies or sponsoring societies. Dr. Weiler serves as
producer and editor and reserves the right to edit or reject material
submitted to the list.
Please submit announcements of interest to recent PhDs to
phd@whitman.edu or weiler@whitman.edu.
For ease of transmission, please do not send attachments. Send a
short message in the body of an e-mail message, and link to any
appropriate websites.
