We are seeking candidates with independent research interests that intersect with one or more faculty within our department. Both domestic and international applicants are welcome. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment, but candidates must have received their Ph.D. no more than 3 years before their start date at Rice. The research fellowships will be supported for two years, pending satisfactory progress during the first year, and covers an annual stipend of $60,000 with a benefits package and an additional annual discretionary research allowance of $3,500. 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 applicantâ??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. The application is due on 1 November 2019 at http://jobs.rice.edu/postings/21282. The application should include the following documents: (1) A current CV, including a list of publications. (2) A brief synopsis of the applicantâ??s doctoral dissertation (less than one page). (3) A concise research proposal (no longer than three pages, including figures, excluding references) describing the applicant's research interests, specifically the research that the applicant would like to pursue at Rice University. (4) The names of potential Rice faculty who could serve as postdoctoral mentors for the applicant. (5) The names and email addresses of at least three references to write recommendation letters. The highest-ranked applicants will be invited to visit Rice in early 2020. Following acceptance, the appointment may begin anytime before 1 January 2021.
