The Office of Polar Programs of the National Science Foundation has issued a program solicitation NSF 08-501 for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Polar Regions Research. This program supports training and research for recent doctoral degree recipients in any aspect of scientific study of the Antarctic and/or Arctic within the OPP's scientific areas (see OPP Web site http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OPP). The program also provides travel grants to those eligible for fellowships for the purpose of meeting prospective mentors and colleagues, presenting seminars, discussing mutual research and/or education interests, evaluating facilities and professional development opportunities, and initiating collaborative relationships.
