SCAR is excited to announce that applications for the 2025 SCAR Life Sciences Group Fellowship Programme are now open.
The SCAR Life Science Group Fellowship Programme is designed to encourage the active involvement of early and mid-career researchers in the work of the SCAR Life Sciences Group to mentor potential future SCAR leaders and promote professional development.
This fellowship programme is funded for two years. The award is for US$10,000 per year. Funds can be used as a stipend; to cover the costs of travel to attend workshops, symposia and/or business meetings; or for other purposes as determined in consultation with the Chief Officer of the SG. Initial appointments are for one year. First-year fellows can apply for the second year, but a second year is not guaranteed.
It is expected that the time commitment of the fellows will average ~3 hours/week. The programme is for researchers from SCAR member countries (full or associate). PhD students or those within ten years of having completed a PhD can apply. In special cases, this ten-year period may be extended. Prior work with SCAR is not a requirement to apply, but any involvement with SCAR should be included in the application. Researchers from countries with developing Antarctic programmes (e.g., SCAR Associate Member countries) are encouraged to apply.
Application review will begin 8th July 2025; for full consideration please submit your application by this date.
