Summary
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) initiated the SCAR Fellowship Programme in 2002. The aim was to encourage the active involvement of early-career researchers in Antarctic scientific research, build new connections, and further strengthen international capacity and cooperation in Antarctic research. Since the initiation of the program, more than 80 SCAR Fellowships have been awarded. The SCAR Fellowship Programme is designed to encourage the active involvement of early-career researchers in furthering our understanding of Antarctica.
Benefit:
Up to USD $15,000 per award;
Home institute to bear in-home country costs (e.g. visa costs, domestic travel);
The host institute will waive bench fees, if any.
Eligibility:
PhD students, or those within five years of having completed a PhD, to undertake research at major international laboratories, field facilities, and/or institutes in or operated by SCAR member countries with the goal of exposing them to recent advances in research and to develop long-term scientific links and partnerships.
The work must be carried out in a research group of a SCAR member country different from that of the applicant’s origin and current residence.
Fellowships are awarded on the selection criteria for competitive selection, which are clearly stated in the Evaluation section on the Information page.
