SCAR/WMO Fellowships 2023 For Climate Researchers From Developing Countries

SCAR/WMO is inviting credible applicants who are willing to partake in its ongoing SCAR/WMO Fellowships 2023 For Climate Researchers From Developing Countries

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 and 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. The Fellowships enable early-career researchers to join a project team from another country, opening up new opportunities and often creating partnerships that last many years and over many Antarctic research seasons.

Some flexibility was introduced during the pandemic and this will continue. Applicants are able to propose partly or entirely remote Fellowships and, where issues later develop around travel or planned activities, we will work with awardees to enable their fellowships to go ahead.

In 2023, as in 2022, additional funding is being provided by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation through the Polar Initiative. We will therefore be awarding 4-5 Fellowships this year.

Eligibility

SCAR fellowships are open to researchers within 5 years of finishing their Ph.D. in Antarctic and Southern Ocean-related disciplines
