The DISsertations initiative for the advancement of Climate Change
ReSearch (DISCCRS, pronounced discourse) hosts symposia for
early-career climate change researchers. Our goal is to catalyze
international, interdisciplinary collegial networks and foster
collaborative interdisciplinary research and dynamic interactions
between science and society to enable us to better understand and
respond to the myriad challenges posed by climate change.
During the weeklong symposium, 30 competitively selected recent Ph.D.
graduates will share their research, engage in discussions with
peers, mentors, and funding agency representatives, and hone their
teambuilding and communication skills. Most importantly, scholars
will depart from the symposium with a collegial peer network that
extends across the full range of climate science. For an overview of
recent symposium scholars, visit:

Eligibility: Ph.D. requirements completed between September 1, 2010 -
February 28, 2013 in any field. Applicants should be conducting
research relevant to the study of climate change, its impacts, or its
societal implications. We encourage applicants from the biological,
physical, and social sciences, mathematics, engineering, and other
fields. While U.S. citizens and residents have preference, some funds
are available for non-U.S. participants.
