The Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (AGS-PRF) program supports highly qualified early career investigators as they pursue independent research in atmospheric and geospace sciences. The fellowship aims to broaden scientific perspectives, foster interdisciplinary interactions, and help establish recipients in leadership positions within the field. Research areas include, but are not limited to, atmospheric chemistry, climate and large-scale dynamics, paleoclimate, meteorology, aeronomy, magnetospheric physics, solar-terrestrial interactions, and space weather research. Fellows may affiliate with any eligible U.S. host institution and are encouraged to expand their collaborative networks.
