Postdoctoral Fellowship in Aquatic Biogeochemistry The Environmental Science and Policy program at the College of William and Mary is pleased to announce a prestigious new postdoctoral teacher-scholar training program. This program offers a unique opportunity to work with multiple environmental faculty on a cutting edge research project while also receiving mentorship in multiple aspects of educational and professional development. We invite applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the area of aquatic biogeochemistry, to collaborate with faculty members from Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the College of William and Mary on a project tracing watershed sources of organic matter in rivers and estuaries.
The postdoctoral fellow will work on the research project with the faculty sponsors, learn how to mentor undergraduates in meaningful research experiences, and receive advice on how to develop and teach at least one undergraduate course during the two years of the fellowship. In every aspect of this program, the postdoctoral fellow will experience active mentorship from multiple environmental faculty. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from early-career scientists who would like to maintain a balance between high quality research and teaching excellence in their continuing careers. The postdoctoral fellow will receive an annual stipend of $45,000 plus benefits and a research/teaching/professional development budget of $15k per annum. This budget includes resources for travel and participation at conferences. The appointment is for two years, commencing in the Fall of 2008.
