POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY AND RELATED FIELDS

We are now accepting proposals for Postdoctoral Fellowships at The 
National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). We are looking to 
support innovative approaches to outstanding problems in evolutionary 
science. Proposals in any area of evolutionary science are welcome, but 
proposals in the following areas are of particular interest: 
Evolutionary Medicine, Synthetic Biology and Origins of Life, Evolution 
and the Social Sciences, and K-12 Minority Education in Evolution. 
Proposals are due July 10 for two-year Fellowships that will begin 
no later than January 2013; we anticipate that award decisions will be 
made by first week of October. For more information, please see our 
website at https://www.nescent.org/science/proposals.php.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS - SABBATICAL SCHOLARS, WORKING GROUPS AND CATALYSIS 
MEETINGS

Proposals for Sabbaticals, Working Groups and Catalysis Meetings are now 
being accepted at The National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). 
We are looking to support innovative approaches to outstanding problems 
in evolutionary science. In particular, proposals that have a clear 
interdisciplinary focus, or involve evolutionary concepts in 
non-traditional disciplines, are strongly encouraged, as are proposals 
that demonstrate international participation and a mix of senior 
and emerging researchers, including graduate students. Proposals are 
accepted twice a year, with deadlines on July 10 and December 1. 
Proposals in any area of evolutionary science are welcome, but proposals 
in Evolution and the Social Sciences and K-12 Minority Education in 
Evolution are also being considered for the July 10 deadline (Proposals 
in one of these two areas must include “Targeted Initiative” in proposal 
title; see also http://www.nescent.org/news/newsdetail.php?id=225and 
https://www.nescent.org/news/newsdetail.php?id=229). Proposals for 
Sabbaticals may be for up to a full year. We also accept proposals for 
short-term visits (2 weeks to 3 months; deadlines on January 1, April 1, 
July 1 and September 1). For more information, please see our website at 
https://www.nescent.org/science/proposals.php.

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN EVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE AND RELATED FIELDS

NESCent is now including graduate training in its portfolio, by offering 
one-semester fellowships for graduate students to pursue research with a 
NESCent sabbatical scholar, a NESCent postdoctoral scholar, or a NESCent 
Working Group.  Deadlines are January 1 (for a fall semester fellowship) 
and July 1 (for a spring semester fellowship). For more information, 
please see our website at https://www.nescent.org/science/proposals.php.
