NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES
RESEARCH ASSOCIATESHIP PROGRAM

Applications Sought For Postdoctoral and Senior Research 
Associateship Awards for 2004

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.

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.

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.

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
