RMBL will be awarding $5,000 in support of geologically-oriented
research conducted through RMBL in 2016 for one or more scientists
working at the postdoctoral level or higher. Scientists with an
RMBL-approved research plan are eligible to apply for direct support of
research. Additionally, scientists considering working at RMBL, but who
do not have an approved research plan, can request travel funds for an
exploratory visit to RMBL.
Fellowship Applicants who have approved research plans, or will be
submitting a new research plan, should use the general fellowship
application (which will be current by Friday, Jan. 8th) found at
rmbl.org/scientists. The deadline for applying for RMBL Fellowships is
Feb. 15.
For new scientists, the deadline for new research plans is Feb. 1. You
can find more information about working at RMBL at
"rmbl.org/scientists", or by contacting RMBL Science Director, Jennifer
Reithel ([email protected]).
If you do not have an approved research plan but are interested in a
travel grant to explore working at RMBL, by Feb. 15th please send me a
copy of your resume along with a cover letter that provides a bit of
information about where you are in your career, your research
interests, how RMBL could potentially fit into your research/education
goals, any logistical considerations involved in working at RMBL that
you would like to explore, and a budget. You can find more information
about RMBL through our website, www.rmbl.org <http://www.rmbl.org>.
Timothy F. Wawrzynie was a well-known U.S. geologist, entrepreneur, and
former faculty member at the University of Texas, University of New
Mexico, and Western State Colorado University. Much of Tim’s early
research focused on the structural geology and Laramide tectonic history
of the Rocky Mountains. The Elk Mountains, and RMBL, forever remained
near and dear to his heart.Tim’s life and career were tragically cut
short by brain cancer in November 2014.
