Fellowships at Smithsonian Institution

2011 call for Smithsonian Interdisciplinary Post-doctoral Fellowship

The Office of Fellowships (Undersecretary of Science at the
Smithsonian Institution) is offering an Interdisciplinary
Postdoctoral Fellowship in the area of stable isotope sciences.
Research proposals must integrate the use of stable isotopes (2H/1H,
13C/12C, 15N/14N, and 18O/16O) into their specific research
questions.  The successful applicant will conduct analyses at one of
the two Pan-Institutional isotope facilities (OUSS/MCI Stable
Isotope Mass Spectrometry Facility in Suitland, MD or at the
Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama City, Panama).
Applicants interested in this fellowship are strongly encouraged to
contact potential advisors/hosts at any of the Smithsonian's various
Museums and Research Units prior to proposal preparation and
submission. Please consult the research staff listed for the Museum,
Research Units, and Offices at the links to Smithsonian
Opportunities for Research and Study below.

Applicants must propose to conduct research in-residence for a
period of 12months, at least 4 months of which will be spent on-site
at the MCI or STIR laboratory. Applicants must have completed or be
near completion of the Ph.D. Recipients who have not completed the
Ph.D. at the time of application must provide proof of completion of
the degree before the fellowship begins.  Please go to
