<div>Applications Sought For Postdoctoral and Senior Research
Associateship Awards for 2004<br>
<br>
Over 120 research laboratories throughout the US and nearly all US
government agencies with research facilities are seeking Postdoc and
Sr.Res.Assoc. applicants. This program provides opportunities for PhD,
ScD, or MD 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 lab.<br>
<br>
Approx. 350 full-time Associateships will be awarded on a competitive
basis in 2004 in the fields of chemistry, earth and atmospheric
sciences, engineering, applied sciences, computer science, life and
medical science, mathematics, space and planetary sciences, and
physics. Most of the labs are open to both US citizens and foreign
nationals, and to both recent doctoral recipients and senior
investigators.<br>
<br>
Postdoctoral awards are made for one or two years, renewable for a
maximum of three years; senior applicants who have held the doctorate
at least five years may receive awards for shorter periods. Annual
stipends for PhD recipients for the 2004 program range from
$36,000-61,000, depending on the sponsoring lab, and will be
appropriately higher for senior applicants.<br>
<br>
Applications are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year.
APPLICATION DEADLINES ARE FEB. 1, MAY 1, AUG. 1, AND NOV. 1. Initial
awards will be announced immediately following each review with
notification of alternate candidates at a later time. For detailed
program information and an on-line application, see<br>
