The National Research Council announces the 2002 Postdoctoral
and Senior Research Associateship Programs to be conducted on
behalf of over 120 research laboratories throughout the United
States representing nearly all U.S. government agencies with
research facilities.
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.
Approximately 300 full-time Associateships will be awarded on a
competitive basis in 2002. Most laboratories are open to both U.S.
citizens and foreign nationals. Postdoctoral awards are made for 1
or 2 years, renewable for a maximum of three years. Annual
stipends for recent Ph.D. recipients for the 2002 program year
range from $34,000 to $61,000, depending upon the sponsoring
laboratory. Financial support is provided for allowable relocation
expenses and for limited professional travel during the duration
of the award. The host laboratory provides facilities, support
services, necessary equipment, and travel necessary for the
conduct of the approved research program.
Applications, submitted directly to the National Research
Council, are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year.
Those postmarked by January 15 will be reviewed in February, by
April 15 in June, and by August 15 in October.
Information on specific research opportunities and participating
federal laboratories, as well as application materials, may be
obtained from the web site at www.national-academies.org/rap.
