The Foundation seeks to further the development of scientific leadership in the field of environmental chemistry with a postdoctoral fellowship program. This program provides a principal investigator with an award of $120,000 over two years to appoint a Postdoctoral Fellow.  The postdoctoral fellow is usually not already identified nor in the principal investigator's lab at the time of application. Applications most likely to be of interest should describe innovative fundamental research in the chemical sciences or engineering related to the environment.

Additional details are given at the Foundation Web Site: www.dreyfus.org.

Applications are due to the sponsor by August 11, 2014. Prospective applicants should assemble the application/grant package in concert with their ORSP Program Development Specialist/Research Advocate; the PDS/RA will submit the application to the sponsor via e-mail.

There is no limit to the number of applications that UM may submit.
