Visiting Scientist Awards for 2007
Belle W. Baruch Institute for Marine and Coastal Sciences
University of South Carolina
Baruch Marine Field Laboratory, Georgetown
Applications are being accepted for awards to support investigators
interested in spending 2 to 4 weeks in residence at the Baruch Marine
Field Laboratory at North Inlet Estuary, during the 2007 field season.
Faculty level investigators who would benefit from the close proximity
of a variety of salt marsh/estuarine habitats and a modern research
facility are encouraged to apply. We especially encourage scientists
with interests in establishing long-term research programs in the area.
Proposals for field-based studies that can be supported by existing
infrastructure and extant databases will be favored. Information on
the BMFL, the study site, current research projects, and the faculty
associated with USCs Marine Science Program can be found at
www.cas.sc.edu/baruch/.
Each award will provide up to $3000 of support for research expenses
and travel. In addition, we are offering laboratory/office space,
access to equipment, use of small boats, and single bedroom
accommodations on site at no charge. Research and travel expenses
incurred by the individual will be reimbursed or supplies can be
ordered through the University of SC. Awarded funds must be spent
between April 30 and November 30, 2007. Awardees will be expected to
present a research seminar during their stay.
A letter of introduction and intent should provide the following
information:
- current area of research and what new work you would initiate while
on site,
- previous or potential collaborations with resident or campus-based
researchers,
- period(s) you would like to spend in residence, (investigators may
choose to make
multiple trips rather than one extended stay)
- specific field and equipment access you would require.
In addition to this narrative, please provide your CV and a budget for
the planned expenditure of a $3000 award.
Applications must be received by March 6 and the awards will be made by
March 20, 2007. Email submissions are acceptable.
