<div>The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation seeks to
further the development of scientific leadership in
the field of environmental chemistry with a
postdoctoral fellowship program. The
Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry
provides a principal investigator with an award of
$120,000 over two years to appoint a Postdoctoral
Fellow in environmental chemistry.<br>
<br>
<b>ELIGIBILITY</b><br>
The Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry is
open to all academic and other not-for-profit
organizations in the States, Districts, and
Territories of the United States of
America. Applications are accepted from principal
investigators who have well-established research
efforts in environmental science or engineering. These
research activities need not be located in
traditional departments in the chemical sciences, and
collaboration across departments and institutions is
encouraged. The postdoctoral fellow is usually not
already identified nor in the principal investigator's
lab at the time of application. Note: award recipients
must wait two years from the conclusion of an award
before being eligible to reapply.<br>
<br>
<b>RESEARCH AREAS OF INTEREST</b><br>
Applications most likely to be of interest should
describe innovative fundamental research in the
chemical sciences or engineering related to the
environment. The importance of the research should
be explained. Examples include but are not limited to
the chemistry associated with: the climate, the
atmosphere, aquatic or marine settings, toxicology,
soil or groundwater. Also of interest are
chemistry-related energy research (renewable sources,
sequestration, etc.), and new or green approaches to
chemical synthesis and processing, both with a clearly
stated relation to the environment.<br>
<br>
<b>SELECTION</b><br>
Applications come from the principal investigator.
Recommendations for awards are based on several
factors: assessment of the proposed research, the
arrangements for the interdisciplinary educational
broadening of the Fellow, and an assessment of the
ability to both attract the best young Ph.D.
candidates and subsequently place them in high level
independent starting positions. Applications are
reviewed by distinguished scientists in the
environmental and chemical sciences. <a
href="http://www.dreyfus.org/announcements/CURR.EP.PDF">Current
Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry
awardees.</a><br>
<br>
<b>BUDGET</b><br>
The Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry
provides a $120,000 award, payable in two $60,000
installments. Funds are normally expended over a
period of two years after the appointment of the
Fellow. Charges associated with indirect costs or
institution overhead are not allowed. Of the total
annual award amount, the stipend support of the Fellow
is no less than $48,000 (stipends may be supplemented
from institutional or other sources). Fringe benefits
of the Fellow taken from this award may not exceed
$12,000 annually.<br>
<br>
<b>APPLICATION PROCEDURE</b><br>
All application materials must be received at the
Foundation office by the deadline. Applications
recommended for approval are presented to the
Foundation's Board of Directors in time for
award announcements by early November 2014.<br>
<br>
<b>REQUIRED INFORMATION</b><br>
<i>Application package. </i>The application should be
formatted on 8 1/2 x 11-inch paper, using 12-point
font size. Assemble it as:<br>
<br>
1. The online application form (available <a
href="http://www.dreyfus.org/awards/2013%20Postdoctoral_Program_in_Environmental_Chemistry.pdf">HERE</a>,
note: Adobe Acrobat is required to complete the form)<br>
2. A research proposal that would be judged as likely
to advance environmental science in important ways
(typically 2-4 pages)<br>
3. A CV (limited to 5 pages) for each of the key
professional personnel that includes ten or fewer
relevant publications<br>
4. A one-page description of the educational
opportunities and institutional strengths in
environmental science, and how the Fellow would be
involved in them<br>
<br>
Send all above materials as a PDF to: <a
href="mailto:programs@dreyfus.org">programs@dreyfus.org</a>.<br>
<br>
<b>REPORTS</b><br>
The first-year award of $60,000 will be paid after the
Foundation has been provided with the Fellow’s CV and
anticipated start date. The second-year award of
$60,000 will be paid upon request, after completion of
the first year. The request should be accompanied or
preceded by a financial report and a progress report
from the project director that contains highlights of
accomplishments under the award and the research plan
for the coming year.<br>
<br>
Final reports are due when all funds are expended. The
final technical report should detail the anticipated
consequence of the research and provide information
regarding the future professional plans of the Fellow.
An optional statement may be included of newsworthy
stories concerning the Mentor, the Fellow, or the
consequences of the research funded during the period
of the award.<br>
<br>
<b>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION</b><br>
1. Publications and presentations describing work
supported by the award should acknowledge the Camille
and Henry Dreyfus Postdoctoral Program in
Environmental Chemistry.<br>
<br>
2. The faculty mentor is designated a Camille and
Henry Dreyfus Environmental Chemistry Mentor. The
postdoctoral scientist is designated a Camille and
Henry Dreyfus Environmental Chemistry Fellow.<br>
<br>
3. Questions may be directed to the Foundation office
by e-mail at <a href="mailto:programs@dreyfus.org">programs@dreyfus.org</a> or
by telephone at 212-753-1760.<br>
