We are excited to announce the launch of a second BioGeoSCAPES Fellows cohort funded by the NSF AccelNet award! This program brings together an international, interdisciplinary cohort of early career researchers (postdocs and senior graduate students) working in the areas of ocean metabolism, biogeochemical cycling, biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, and marine microbiology. We encourage applicants from both experimental and modeling backgrounds.

      Each Fellow will each receive a professional development award that can be used for travel related to laboratory exchanges, courses, workshops or conferences. Fellows will participate in monthly networking events for at least one year, as well as an in-person workshop in summer or fall 2025. Postdoctoral researchers and senior graduate students from any nation who are working on BioGeoSCAPES-relevant research are eligible to apply. 

Application requirements: Fill out Google Form application and send abbreviated (2-page) CV to info@biogeoscapes.org. Applications are due June 15, 2024. Applicants will be informed by August, and cohort activities will begin September, 2024. Applications will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

1. Applicant’s readiness level to benefit from professional development activities of the Fellows Program
2. Quality, novelty, and relevance (to BioGeoSCAPES mission) of applicant’s research activities to date  
3. Applicant’s authentic experience and/or interest in interdisciplinary research endeavors
4. Applicant’s leadership experience and/or potential to help advance the BioGeoSCAPES mission
