Funding-Camille
and Henry Dreyfus Foundation - Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry;
August 1, 2017
Description
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.
Eligibility
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.
Research
Areas of Interest
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.
