VISITING SCHOLARS at ARCHBOLD Archbold Biological Station will award fellowships of up to $3,000 to visiting scholars for the 2025 field season. The number of fellowships and award amounts will vary depending on the length of study, project needs, and number of proposals received. Awardees will be eligible for free shared housing or discounted private housing based on availability.
Archbold is a not-for-profit biological field station devoted to ecological research, conservation, and education located in south-central Florida. Archbold’s 20,000 acres of natural areas encompass outstanding examples of Florida ecosystems with many endemic, imperiled species, as well as a working cattle ranch. Our staff of about 65 works across eight research programs oriented toward four priority areas: saving the rarest of the rare species and ecosystems; sustaining natural and working grasslands; connecting large landscapes and wildlife corridors; and addressing climate change. We engage with many visiting scientists, interns, and collaborators to address these research priorities, sustain our long-term studies, and maintain a dynamic scientific community. The purpose of the visiting scholar program is to invite and encourage early career scientists (graduate students and post-docs) to conduct research at Archbold and contribute to Archbold’s vibrant research community. Previous recipients have worked on research questions across various ecosystems (e.g., scrub, grasslands, wetlands), organisms (e.g., plants, scrub jays, herps, mammals), and subdisciplines (e.g., population ecology, behavioral ecology, agroecology). We welcome applications regardless of the applicant’s familiarity with or prior experience working at Archbold. Applications will be judged on a combination of relevance to Archbold’s mission, intellectual merit, feasibility, and broader impacts for conservation and education. Applicants should already be enrolled in a graduate program or appointed as a postdoctoral scientist and studying in any area of field biology. The proposed work must involve research conducted at Archbold (including the Station, Reserve or Buck Island Ranch) and/or the immediate area and include at least 4 weeks (cumulative over one year) based on-site at Archbold.
