The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programmes (COMNAP) have launched their 2016 Fellowship Programme for early-career researchers. The fellowships are worth up to USD $15,000 each and up to six fellowships in total are on offer for 2016. They enable early-career researchers to join a project team from another country for a short time, opening up new opportunities and often creating research partnerships that last for many years and over many Antarctic research seasons. The deadline for applications is 1 June 2016. Full details of the scheme, including the application process, are on the SCAR website at http://www.scar.org/fellowship/information.
The SCAR and COMNAP Fellowships are launched in conjunction with the CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) Scientific Scholarship Scheme. For more information, visit http://www.ccamlr.org/en/science/ccamlr-scientific-scholarship-scheme.
