The Early Career Research Program, now in its eighth year, supports the development of individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and stimulates research careers in the disciplines supported by the DOE Office of Science. Please see http://science.energy.gov/early-career/ for more information and eligibility requirements.
This year the Office of Biological and Environmental Research has included two topics relevant to this community: (a) Systems Biology-Enabled Research on the Role of Microbial Communities in Carbon Cycle Processes (b) Modeling the Drivers and Impacts of Extreme Events The schedule is listed below. Due date for Pre-applications (required): 8-Sep-2016, 5 PM Eastern Time Encourage/Discourage Decisions: 6-Oct-2016, 5 PM Eastern Time Due date for Proposals: 14-Nov-2016, 5 PM Eastern Time Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to register with the PAMS system as early as possible.
