The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is now accepting applications for its 2011 Rubenstein Fellows competition.
This international program seeks to support and extend the impact of original biodiversity research by postgraduates, graduate students, and other early career scientists. Rubenstein Fellows funds provide partial support for up to one year so that biodiversity research, databases, and media can be effectively translated into rich, online resources available through the Encyclopedia of Life. Fellows must work in collaboration with a research mentor and may encourage collaborative and synthetic work with a community of colleagues. Fellows and mentors also help EOL to develop effective strategies for engaging and supporting the scientific community. For more information on the program and to download the application package, please visit http://www.eol.org/content/page/fellows. Applications must be submitted via email to [email protected] no later than 15 September 2010. Questions regarding the EOL Fellows competition should be directed to the EOL Fellows Coordinator at [email protected].
