2002-2003 American Meteorological Society
Congressional Science Fellowship

Are you fascinated by what goes on in Washington, DC? Are you content with how Congress and the President make science policy? Would you like to become involved - to make a difference?

For those scientists who would like to contribute to public policy by working on Capitol Hill, the AMS Congressional Science Fellowship allows you to spend a year working for a member of Congress or a congressional committee.

The AMS Congressional Science Fellowship program will permit you to spend a full year in the U.S. Congress working on science policy issues. The Fellowship term is from September 1, 2002 to August 31, 2003. Each fellow is free to choose from a wide variety of positions within Congress. He or she will spend the year on Capitol Hill with over 30 fellows from other professional societies. A stipend of $47,000 and up to $10,000 for moving, travel, and other expenses are provided.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE: Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent in the atmospheric or related sciences, be a member of AMS (or applying), be a U.S. citizen, and be comfortable working with people from diverse professional backgrounds and under demanding deadlines. Federal employees are not eligible.

HOW TO APPLY: Applications are due to the AMS by MARCH 1, 2002. Visit the AMS website to see application details or call Doug Stone at the AMS (202) 737-9006 or email stone@dc.ametsoc.orgfor an application.

The fellowship is supported jointly by the AMS and University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).

CIRES Visiting Faculty & Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) under the sponsorship of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is offering up to six one-year Visiting Fellowships at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

This is open to scientists with research interests in the areas of the new CIRES Research Themes developed to better explain and illustrate both the broad range of CIRES' science as well as the interdisciplinary nature and connectedness of our research.

Advanced Observing and Modeling Systems
Climate System Variability
Geodynamics
Planetary Metabolism
Regional Processes

ELIGIBILITY: Ph.D. scientists at all levels and faculty planning sabbatical leave. Recent Ph.D. recipients and those affiliated with minority institutions are especially encouraged to apply. Selections for this Visiting Fellows Program are based in part on the likelihood of interactions between the Visiting Fellows and the scientists at CIRES and the degree to which both parties will benefit from the exchange of new ideas. To further this goal, priority is given to candidates with research experience at institutions outside the Boulder scientific community.

The program is open to scientists of all countries, and appointments can begin at any time during the year. Salary is commensurate with qualifications, current salary and cost of living considerations. The Fellow will be eligible for benefits, office space, telephone and computer facilities, and a small moving and start-up allowance. Visiting Fellowships are potentially renewable for a second year, provided supplemental funding is available.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the CIRES Fellows and other scientists to refine their research proposals. For application instructions, see the CIRES Website. The deadline for receipt of application materials is December 15, 2001

The University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to diversity and equality in education and employment.
