SCAR Fellowship Programme
This programme is designed to encourage the active involvement of early-career scientists and engineers, social scientists and humanities researchers in Antarctic research, and to build new connections and further strengthen international capacity and cooperation in Antarctic research.
The SCAR Fellowship Programme is designed to encourage the active involvement of early-career researchers in furthering our understanding of Antarctica. The Fellowships enable early-career researchers to join a project team from another country, opening up new opportunities and often creating partnerships that last many years and over many Antarctic research seasons.
Topics of projects proposed should align with SCAR’s mission and ideally with one or more of its various groups.
Fellowships run for one year.
Awards will be up to USD $15,000, providing, as needed, economy-class round-trip travel and a modest subsistence allowance for the fellowship period. The Fellow’s home institute will bear all expenses incurred in his or her home country (domestic travel, visa costs, etc.), and the host institute will waive any bench fees that they might normally charge trainees.
The SCAR Fellowship programme is for PhD students, or those within five years of having completed a PhD on the day of the deadline for applications. In special cases (e.g. maternity/paternity leave), this five-year period may be extended.
