Applicants are requested to develop a proposal of research to be undertaken during the fellowship period. The principal selection criteria are scientific excellence, a clearly expressed research plan to address questions at the forefront of their field of study, and research synergies with at least one faculty. The proposed research should, however, encompass independent research ideas and explore new directions beyond the applicant’s Ph.D. Preference will be given to applicants whose proposals demonstrate independence and originality, and also the potential for collaboration with one or more faculty in the Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences.
Applicants are required to submit:
(1) A cover letter
(2) A research proposal of no more than 3 pages (single-spaced), including figures
(3) A current CV, including a list of publications
All three documents should be submitted as a single PDF file to the chair of the fellowship search committee (esci-postdoc@xxxxxxxx) by 10 November, 2017. In addition, letters of reference should be submitted by three referees to the same email address and by the same deadline.
The highest ranked applicants will be invited to visit Rice in early 2018. Following acceptance, the appointment may begin anytime before 1 January, 2019. For further information or questions contact the chair of the search committee at esci-postdoc@xxxxxxxx.
