Subject: Postdoctoral Research Associates in Computational Science and Engineering The announcement for the FY95 Postdoctoral Research Associates in Computational Science and Engineering has just been placed on NSF's electronic Science & Technology Information System (STIS) (NSF 94-104). It is also attached at the end of this message. This very successful program has been supporting postdocs from all disciplines for the last four years; in FY94 sixteen postdocs were supported, 2 in Biology, 2 in Chemistry, 3 in Computer Science, 3 in Engineering, 3 in Materials, 2 in Math, and 1 in Physics. This year the deadline for submission has been moved up to November 1, 1994. DIVISION OF ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING OFFICE OF CROSS DISCIPLINARY-ACTIVITIES DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 1994 NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION CISE Postdoctoral Research Associates in Computational Science and Engineering and, Associates in Experimental Science The Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Directorate of the National Science Foundation plans a limited number of grants for support of Postdoctoral Research Associateships contingent upon available funding. The Associates are of two types: o Associateships in Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E Associates) supported by the New Technologies Program in the Division of Advanced Scientific Computing (DASC) in cooperation with other NSF CS&E disciplines (CS&E Associates). The objective of these Associateship awards is to increase expertise in the development of innovative methods and software for applying high performance, scalable parallel computing systems in solving large scale CS&E problems. o Associateships in Experimental Science (ES Associates) supported by the Office of Cross Disciplinary Activities (CDA) . The objective of the ES Associateship awards is to increase expertise in CISE experimental science by providing opportunities for associates to work in established laboratories performing experimental research in one or more of the research areas supported by the CISE Directorate. These awards provide opportunities for recent Ph.D.s to broaden their knowledge and experience and to prepare them for significant research careers on the frontiers of contemporary computational science and engineering and experimental science. It is assumed that CS&E Associates will conduct their research at academic research institutions or other centers or institutions which provide access, either on site or by network, to high performance, scalable parallel computing systems and will be performing research associated with those systems. It is assumed that ES Associates will conduct their research in academic research institutions or other institutions devoted to experimental science in one or more of the research areas supported by the CISE Directorate. Who may submit Universities, colleges, and other research institutions as described in Grants Proposal Guide (GPG), (NSF-94-2) are eligible to submit proposals to this program. For CS&E Associateships the institution must have access to high performance, emerging parallel computing systems. For ES Associateships, the institution should have an established laboratory performing research in CISE experimental areas, as described in Guide to Programs, NSF 93-167. Associateship awards will be based on proposals submitted by the sponsoring institution. The principal investigator will serve as an unreimbursed scientific advisor for the research associate. Research associates should not be listed as co-principal investigators. Each proposal must include a research and training plan for the proposed research associate in an activity of computational science and engineering in any of the fields supported by DASC, other NSF CS&E programs or experimental research supported by the CISE Directorate. To be eligible for this support, individuals must: (1) be eligible to be appointed as a research associate or research assistant professor in the institution which has submitted the proposal, (2) fulfill the requirement for the doctoral degree in computational science and engineering, computer science and engineering or a closely related discipline by September 30, 1995. Award Amounts, Stipends and Research Expense Allowances Awards will range from $33,200-$46,200 for a 24 month period. The award will include $29,000-$42,000 to support the Research Associate (to be matched equally by the sponsoring institution). There will also be an allowance of $4,200 to the sponsoring institution, in lieu of indirect costs, as partial reimbursement for expenses incurred in support of the research. The annual award to the research associate will be composed of two parts: an annual stipend (salary and benefits) that may range from $25,000-$38,000, and a $4,000 per year research expense allowance expendable at the Associate's discretion for travel, publication expenses, and other research-related costs. There is no allowance for dependents. The effective date of the award cannot be later than January 1996. Matching Funds The institution must match the NSF award on a dollar for dollar basis excluding the $4,200 granted in lieu of indirect costs. Matching funds may come from grants from other NSF programs, other agencies' programs, or from other institutional resources. Matching fund arrangements are the responsibility of the submitting institution and must be detailed in the budget request. Evaluation and Selection Proposals will be reviewed by panel in accordance with established Foundation procedures and the general criteria described in the GPG brochure, and additional criteria specific to the Postdoctoral Research Associateships Program. The review panel will consider: the candidate's ability, accomplishments, potential as evidenced by the quality and significance of past research, long range career goals, the likely impact of the proposed postdoctoral training and research on the future scientific development of the applicant and on the parallel computing infrastructure of the US (for CS&E Associates) or on Experimental Science in CISE disciplines (for ES Associates), the aspects of the candidate's research and education, such as broadening research associates' knowledge and experience by a change in institution, advisor, or research area, and the adequacy of the sponsoring institution's access to high performance and/or experimental computational resources to support the proposed research. Application Procedures and Proposal Materials To be eligible for consideration, a proposal must contain forms which can be found in the GPG brochure.

Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) of Michigan State University offers graduate fellowships for students interested in integrated, research-based training in ecology and evolutionary biology. The focus of our training program is Linking Levels of Ecological Organization, from genes to landscapes. We feel that the best scientists will have a strong research exposure to techniques and concepts from all levels of ecological organization, and the ability to synthesize across levels. As major components of this program we stress novel coursework, strong field experiences and research-based training at a variety of levels of ecological organization. The KBS is located on the shore of Gull Lake in southwestern Michigan and supports a year-round research and training program by 10 resident faculty, several postdoctoral associates and approximately 20 resident graduate students. A Research Training Group (RTG) grant from the NSF provides graduate fellowship support, as well as funds for travel and research. We invite applications from highly qualified individuals, especially minority students. Application deadline for fall 1995 admissions is Jan. 15, 1995.

This is a program that originated in the Directorate for Biological Sciences, which normally does not accept Antarctic proposals. I have made an agreement with Carter Kimsey, the BIO program director, that Antarctic LTER-related applications will be accepted for the competition. As with the LTERs, the cost will be funded by Polar Biology and Medicine. I expect to make no more than a few awards. As you know, there are a number of LTER-related special competitions that have been held by the Division of Environmental Biology. Formerly, due to budget, there was no opportunity for the Antarctic sites to take part in these competitions. I've been concerned lately about providing Antarctic LTERs with similar opportunities to the non-Antarctic LTERs. I also deal with the fact that PBM is in a near level-funding climate. So, I'm starting small, with the post-doc program. I feel bringing in younger scientists is a worthy place to begin. I expect to make no more than a few awards, and only if they are competitive in the overall competition. I can't make any committments at this point for other opportunities. The particulars: DEADLINE (and they mean DEADLINE): December 1 I only learned of the program last week so there is a short time frame. The application is not like a regular proposal though. The abstract of the fellowship research is 200 words and the research and training plan is 4 pages maximum. The conditions are also not like a regular award. PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT: This is NSF 94-114. You can call or send me an e-mail if you want a copy. I'm gone October 21 through November 4. If you call then, ask for our program assistant, Tammy Butler (703) 306-1033, and ask for a copy. ADDITIONAL ANTARCTIC CONCERNS: As you know, field space is limited. A field season, if appropriate, could begin in 95/96. You may have to absorb the person into your assigned number of field team members, but I'm willing to talk to Operations on this subject. For Palmer Station, you know the bed/berth constraints. Any feedback on this concept is welcome.

KPRNA is a 3,487 ha native tallgrass prairie research preserve. and is one of a network of 18 Long-Term Research Sites (LTER). Additionally, Konza is a major center of research in the Division of Biology and was founded with the purpose of studying the tallgrass prairie. Particular foci of the research are the roles of fire and grazing in maintaining the tallgrass prairie. Burn regimes are imposed at the watershed level on cycles that range from one to twenty years. Bison graze 1,000 ha. across many watersheds and other watersheds have been fenced to contain cattle herds. The combination of fire and grazing treatments provide a robust experimental manipulation for the analysis of the influence of these forces. The LTER component of Konza Prairie focuses on five core areas: 1) patterns and control of primary production, 2) spatial and temporal distribution of populations, 3) patterns and control of organic matter in surface layers and sediments, 4) patterns of inorganic input through soils, groundwater, and surface water, and 5) patterns and frequency of disturbance. These will also serve as the primary focus of the field methods portion of the REU effort, although students will be exposed to a number of other projects. In addition to the PI's, ten scientists associated with KPRNA and the LTER have agreed to act as mentors for REU students. Mentors and their field of interest are: Mentor Field of Interest Dr. John Blair Nutrient Cycling Dr. John M. Briggs Remote Sensing / GIS Dr. Walter Dodds Aquatic Ecology Dr. David Hartnett Plant Ecology Dr. Don Kaufman Mammalian Ecology / Evolution Dr. Dale Kennedy Avian Biology / Conservation Dr. Alan Knapp Plant Ecology Dr. Diane Post Behavioral Ecology Dr. Chuck Rice Soil Biology Dr. R. J. Robel Avian Productivity Dr. Jim Sherow Environmental History Dr. Chris Smith Plant Reproductive Patterns Dr. John Zimmerman Avian Ecology During their stay at Kansas State University, REU students will be housed in dormitory facilities. Students will be provided with double room accommodations and 20 meals per week as a part of their housing package. Dormitories provide low-cost laundry facilities, kitchen facilities for snack preparation, television rooms, and recreational areas. Enrollment in summer school will provide students with access to student health services, university computing facilities, library facilities, and all university-sponsored social and recreational programs. In addition to tuition, housing, and trip expenses, REU students will be awarded a stipend of $2,500.00 for the ten week period. Student participants will be selected by a committee composed of the PI's, and five faculty mentors, one from each of the five LTER core areas. Students will be evaluated on the basis of their applications, with most emphasis being placed on a two-page essay. We anticipate selecting ten participants and five alternates; if a selected participant cannot attend an alternate will be offered the slot. Students who wish to be considered for the REU program offered by KPRNA and the Division of Biology should send a completed application packet to Dr. Diane Post. Applications will consist of an official copy of the students transcript, a list of courses in which the student is currently enrolled, two letters of recommendation from faculty at the students home institution, and a two-page essay addressing 1) the develpoment of the students interest in ecology, the breadth of thie interest in ecology, and current professional career goals (which need not be in ecological research).

The positions are part of the North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program. A postdoc for REGIONAL COMPARATIVE LIMNOLOGY is intended to develop and coordinate research addressing issues such as regional effects of climate change, introduction of exotic species, or landscape alteration on small inland lakes of the Upper Great Lakes region. The research will primarily use existing data bases and will involve coordination with several limnological research centers in the region, including the Center for Limnology in Wisconsin, the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) in western Ontario, and the Dorset Research Centre in eastern Ontario. The successful applicant will be based at the University of Wisconsin's Trout Lake Station in northcentral Wisconsin. Travel to ELA, Dorset, and Madison and coordination of workshops for collaborative analyses will be required. A postdoc for LAND-WATER INTERACTION is intended to synthesize land-use information for watersheds of Wisconsin lakes, and develop models and analyses for effects of land-use change on lakes. In northern Wisconsin, we are interested in effects of forest harvest and compositional change on flow of groundwater and solutes to lakes, and shoreline and littoral zone developments associated with tourist use and cottaging. In southern wisconsin, we are interested in phosphorus loading to lakes as a function of land-use change (primarily urbanization of agricultural watersheds) and climate change. This research will primarily use existing data bases. The successful applicant will be based at the Madison laboratory of the Center for Limnology.

Washington, D.C. 20460 SOLICITATION FOR GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS - 1995 OFFICE OF EXPLORATORY RESEARCH INTRODUCTION The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites applications for graduate fellowships in academic disciplines at the forefront of environmental science and technology: the physical, biological, and social sciences; mathematics and computer science; and engineering. These fellowships are intended to help defray costs associated with advanced environmentally-oriented study leading to the masters or doctoral degree. EPA expects to award approximately 100 new multi-year graduate fellowships in 1995. The remainder of this notice presents pertinent background information and describes the application and review process. BACKGROUND The mission of the EPA is to provide leadership in the nation's environmental science, research, education, and assessment efforts; make sound regulatory and program decisions; and carry out effective programs and policies to improve and preserve the quality of the national and global environment. Science and technology are central to virtually every aspect of environmental protection and seem certain to take on progressively greater importance during the foreseeable future. Both the public and private sectors will need a steady stream of well-trained environmental scientists and engineers if our society is to meet the environmental challenges of the future. Through its office of Research and Development, the EPA is anticipating that need by offering financial assistance for advanced study in academic disciplines relevant to its mission. ELIGIBILITY Applicants must be citizens of the United States or its territories or possessions, or lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. EPA graduate fellowships are intended for students already enrolled in a full-time graduate program at an accredited U.S. college or university. Women, minorities, and disabled students who are pursuing graduate degrees in one of the eligible fields are especially encouraged to apply. TENURE The term of a graduate fellowship is negotiated with students and ordinarily covers a period of 9 to 12 months for each fellowship year; funds for unutilized months are forfeited. Students seeking a masters degree are supported for a maximum period of two years; students seeking doctoral degrees are supported for a maximum period of three years. STIPENDS AND ALLOWANCES The Graduate Fellowship Program provides up to $34,000 per year of support. A maximum of $68,000 will be provided for masters fellows (2 years) while doctoral fellows can receive up to $102,000 in support (3 years). Individuals accepting this support may not concurrently hold other Federal scholarships, fellowships, or traineeships. The $34,000 annual support covers stipend, tuition, and expenses as follows: Stipends during l995-96 will be $17,000 for 12-month tenures and prorated monthly at a maximum of $1,417 for shorter periods. Stipends are paid directly to the Fellow. At its discretion, each fellowship institution may supplement a Fellow's stipend from institutional funds in accordance with the supplementation policy of the fellowship institution. Tuition support will be up to $12,000 per year, depending upon the policies of the fellowship institution, paid directly to the institution.
