*****************************************************************************************
Colleagues,
The next cycle of the USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program (http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/) provides several opportunities
relevant for those interested in the broad area of volcanology.
Information on the program, including qualification, application
procedures, and start dates can be found at http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/2013/basics.html.
Applicants have successfully completed a Ph.D. in an area described in the Research Opportunity. The Ph.D. degree requirements must have been met no earlier than February 21, 2007, and must be completed by the time employment starts (no later than March 2013). The Federal Government gives strong priority to U.S. citizens and nationals, but for these two-year excepted service positions, noncitizens may be considered under certain circumstances.
The research proposal
is the most important part of the application package, and we strongly
urge applicants to coordinate the development of the proposal with the
appropriate Research Advisors.
