Funding-Fulbright Scholars Program - New Postdoctoral Scholar Award Deadline; January 15, 2015

Good afternoon,

The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is pleased to announce a new initiative to better accommodate the interests and commitments of early career scholars. There is now an additional application cycle for a select number of 2015-2016 postdoctoral awards, with a deadline of January 15, 2015.

Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar Awards are open to U.S. scholars who have recently completed their doctoral degrees (or other terminal degree) – typically within the five previous years. These grants present an excellent opportunity for recently minted PhDs to deepen their expertise, acquire new skills, work with additional resources, and make connections with others in their field.

When you registered for My Fulbright, you indicated an interest in Europe. The following awards are based in that region:

Belgium - Award #5548, Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar Award: Belgium, EORTC
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) is a leading cancer therapy and research center located in Brussels, Belgium that is seeking postdoctoral candidates who will receive training in the methodology of cancer clinical and translational research using data from EORTC databases. Candidates should have an interest in cancer clinical and translational research.

European Union - Award #5547, Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar Award: European Union, EUI (Florence)
The selected candidate will spend nine months at the European University Institute in Florence, focusing on developing professional skills such as teaching, academic writing and publishing, and job market presentation within the field of EU studies. Applicants should have a demonstrated interest in EU studies that is represented through the publication of articles which carry observations, prognoses, or suggestions for current topics important to the transatlantic relationship.

France - Award #5546, Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar Award: France, Nord Pas de Calais
Situated at the heart of the "Golden Triangle" of London, Paris, and Brussels, the Nord Pas de Calais boasts a longstanding tradition of research. The Nord Pas de Calais region welcomes candidates in the hard and social sciences as well as the humanities, including museum conservation, culture and preservation, and visual art creation.

I hope you will share this information with postdoctoral scholars in your network. More information can be found on our website, http://www.cies.org/, and the complete listing of postdoc awards can be found here in the online catalog.

If you are interested in Fulbright opportunities for more senior scholars, the general competition for academic year 2016-2017 will open in February of 2015.

We would be happy to answer any questions.

Best regards,
