The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate
fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of
outstanding promise. These fellowships are awarded yearly to researchers
in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field.
The Sloan Research Fellowship Program recognizes and rewards
outstanding early-career faculty who have the potential to revolutionize
their fields of study. Successful candidates for a Fellowship generally
have a strong record of significant independent research
accomplishments that demonstrate creativity and the potential to become
future leaders in the scientific community. Nominated candidates are
normally several years past the completion of their Ph.D. in order to
accumulate a competitive record of independent, significant research.
In keeping with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's longstanding support
of underrepresented minorities in the sciences, the Foundation strongly
encourages the nomination of qualified women and minority candidates.
Eligibility requirements: - Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent
degree in chemistry, computer science, Earth system science, economics,
mathematics, neuroscience, physics, or a related field. - Candidates must be members of the faculty of a college, university, or other degree-granting institution in the U.S. or Canada.
- Candidates must be tenure-track, though untenured, as of September 15 of the nomination year.
- Candidate’s faculty position must carry a regular teaching obligation.
Anticipated funding: Fellowships are $75,000 for two years.
