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.

Eligibility: Ph.D. requirements completed between
1 September 2010 28 February 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.
