• Research Associateship Program

  The National Research Council of the National Academies is seeking applications for postdoctoral and senior research associateship awards. The programs provide opportunities for Ph.D., Sc.D. or M.D. scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability to perform research on problems largely of their own choosing, yet compatible with the research interests of the sponsoring laboratory.

  Full-time Associateships will be awarded for research in the fields of chemistry, earth, atmospheric and space sciences, engineering, applied sciences and computer science, life and medical sciences, mathematics, space and planetary sciences, and physics. Many of the laboratories are open to both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals, and to both recent doctoral recipients and senior investigators.

  Postdoctoral awards are made foe one or two years, renewable for a maximum of three years; senior applicants who have held the doctorate for at least 5 years may receive awards for shorter periods. Annual stipends for recent Ph.D. recipients range from $42,000 to $72,000 depending upon the sponsoring laboratory, and are appropriately higher for senior award recipients. In addition, the NRC provides health insurance, relocation benefits and an allowance for professional travel.

  Contact with the research adviser/mentor at the proposed laboratory, including discussion of the proposed project, is necessary prior to submitting a formal application to the NRC. Application deadlines are February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 for reviews in mid-March, mid-June, mid-September, and mid-January respectively.
