OBJECTIVES: The sponsor is now seeking to include graduate<br>
traineeship to our portfolio in facilitating broadly synthetic<br>
research to address fundamental questions in evolutionary science.<br>
They are offering one-semester fellowships for graduate students to<br>
pursue research with either a sabbatical scholar, working group, or<br>
postdoctoral fellow. The research should be in line with the goals
of<br>
the sabbatical scholar and/or working group and may include<br>
integrating datasets, developing databases, performing analyses,<br>
programming and software development, etc. Support will not be<br>
provided to collect or generate new data. When relevant,
graduate<br>
students are expected to be full members of working group.
Ultimately<br>
they expect the graduate student to lead and author aspects of the<br>
research. Graduate Fellowships are intended to, and
will be<br>
evaluated on: address an important and outstanding evolutionary<br>
question; be "risky" endeavors but with a reasonable chance
of<br>
success; reflect NESCent’s scientific mission to advance research
that<br>
addresses fundamental questions in evolutionary science by
integrating<br>
methods, concepts, and data within and across disciplines; possess<br>
sufficient data to tackle the question; possess appropriate
analytical<br>
tools or will develop them during the project; be in line with the<br>
goals of the sabbatical scholar and/or working group; allow for full<br>
participation and authorship of in NESCent activities and research;<br>
produce products that typically fall into three broad categories
(but<br>
are not restricted to): Synthetic papers and reviews; Databases<br>
allowing others to build on your foundation; Software or
mathematical<br>
tools that solve a major analytical problem; and interface with the<br>
work of the sabbatical scholar or working group. Proposals
will<br>
be evaluated in terms of both the scientific value of the project
and<br>
the qualifications of the applicant. <br><br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
The sponsor will not support collection of new data or field<br>
research, but encourages the mining of public and private databases.<br>
NESCent is committed to making data, databases, software and other<br>
products that are developed as part of NESCent activities available
to<br>
the broader scientific community. <br><br>
FUNDING<br>
The sponsor will provide a maximum of $12,000 to the graduate<br>
student fellowship recipient. (jas) <br><br>
