Description
NSF’s Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) awards postdoctoral fellowships to early-career investigators carrying out independent research. Supported disciplines include Atmospheric Chemistry, Climate and Large-Scale Dynamics, Paleoclimate, Physical and Dynamic Meteorology, Aeronomy, Magnetospheric Physics, Solar Terrestrial research, and Space Weather Research. Projects may combine field, laboratory, and computational studies using observational, theoretical, or experimental approaches.
The program provides training beyond graduate education and aims to broaden scientific perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and establish beginning investigators in leadership positions. Fellows affiliate with appropriate U.S. research institutions and devote themselves full time to fellowship activities. Awards are made to, paid to, and administered by individual Fellows rather than institutions.
