Announcement follows
Candidates have from October 5th to November 30th 2009 to apply for the Schlumberger Foundation 2010 Faculty for the Future fellowships.
Application schedule for new and renewal 2010 awards
Applications open on October 5, 2009 and close on November 30, 2009.
Awards will be announced on February 28, 2010.
Faculty for the Future fellowships are awarded to women from developing and emerging economies who are preparing for PhD or postdoctoral study in the physical sciences, engineering and related disciplines* to pursue advanced graduate study at top universities in their disciplines abroad.
Launched by the Schlumberger Foundation in 2004, Faculty for the Future has grown to become a community of 110 women from 35 countries.
The long-term goal of the Faculty for the Future program is to generate conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific disciplines. Grant recipients are therefore selected as much for their leadership capabilities as their scientific talents and they are expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic careers and inspire other young women.
Faculty for the Future grants are in the range of USD 25,000 to 50,000 per year, and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors. The amount of the grant depends on the actual costs of study and living in the chosen location.
Eligibility
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- be a citizen of a developing or emerging country
- be preparing for PhD or post-doctoral study in the physical sciences or related disciplines
- have a proven track record of teaching experience
- can demonstrate active participation in faculty life and outreach work to encourage young women into the sciences
- hold an excellent academic record
The online application form will be available as of October 5th, 2009.
