The Rockefeller Archives Center and Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action [ARNOVA] invite applications for a first International Research Fellowship. The purpose of this fellowship is to encourage and provide support for attendance at ARNOVA’s Annual Conference, and research using the Rockefeller Archive Center [RAC], by scholars from outside the U.S. and Canada. The fellowship award will provide $4000 intended to cover the costs of travel to and attendance at the ARNOVA Conference, and to the RAC for a time of research at the Archives.

Qualifications

Applicants must demonstrate that they have a scholarly research project that will benefit from attending the ARNOVA Conference and requires research at the Rockefeller Archive Center . They must also have a record of prior scholarship, which may be a thesis or dissertation.

Applicants must contact the RAC at least one month prior to applying for the fellowship so that they can clearly identify in the application substantial archival materials that are related to their research project. (Note: Information about the RAC and its collections can be found at http://archive.rockefeller.edu. )

Expectations

Applicants must plan on attending the entire ARNOVA Conference. (Conference registration fees will be waived.) In addition, they must plan on spending at least three days at the RAC for the purpose of conducting their research. The fellowship is expected to cover the full costs of travel, lodging, meals and incidentals. (No supplemental funds will be available.) They must also be able to obtain a travel visa for the dates of the ARNOVA Conference (November 15-17, 2007) and time spent at RAC. Half of the award will be provided two months prior to the dates of the conference, with the balance to be paid at the completion of the conference and the time of research.

Applications

Applicants should send a letter of no more than four pages describing the research project they will pursue, its purposes, and the methodology they will employ. This should also describe how participation in the ARNOVA Conference and use of the RAC will help move this project forward. (As noted above, contact with the RAC prior to sending in the application is necessary.) They should also include records of prior scholarly accomplishments – that is, graduate transcripts, certification of their advanced degree, or the like. They may include a short sample of scholarly writing demonstrating their research abilities.

Completed applications must be postmarked no later than May 15, 2007, and received at ARNOVA’s offices by June 1, 2007. The fellowship winner will be notified no later than July 1, 2007. Applications and supporting materials should be addressed to:

Scientific Computing and Mathematical Modeling (SCMM) applies mathematical and computational techniques to a variety of challenging problems in pharmaceutical research. We are the premier mathematical modeling group in the pharmaceutical industry. Our group works on mathematical models related to the biology of disease states and drug interventions, the chemistry and physics of drug formulations and delivery devices, and the structure of large biochemical pathways in cells. In addition, we develop sophisticated computational tools that are used to build and calibrate mathematical models, incorporate large quantities of experimental data, and visualize the results of model-generated computational experiments

For Summer 2007 we are seeking for graduate students and highly advanced undergraduates for three internship positions. The projects are listed below together with the required skills for each position:

• Lipoprotein metabolism: Mathematical biology, scientific computing, mathematical modeling
• Model calibration and optimization: Numerical analysis, optimization, Matlab programming
• Scientific computing: Programming

We seek mature, motivated self-starters who can successfully integrate sophisticated mathematics and computer software with real-world biological problems. The internship positions may be located at our facilities in the Philadelphia area or in Research Triangle Park, NC.

How the Scholar Rescue Fund Works:

• Academics, researchers and independent scholars from any country, field or discipline may qualify. Preference is given to scholars with a Ph.D. or other highest degree in their field; who have extensive teaching or research experience at a university, college or other institution of higher learning; who demonstrate superior academic accomplishment or promise; and whose selection is likely to benefit the academic community in the home and/or host country or region.
  Applications from female scholars and under-represented groups are strongly encouraged.
• Fellowship recipients are expected to resume their teaching, lecturing, research, writing and publishing at an academic institution outside the region of threat.
• Fellowships are awarded for visiting academic positions ranging from 3 months to one calendar year. The maximum award is US $20,000.
• Fellowships are disbursed through host academic institutions for direct support of scholar-grantees. In most cases, host campuses are asked to match the SRF fellowship award through partial salary/stipend support, research materials, medical insurance, and other in-kind
  assistance.
• Applications are accepted at any time. Emergency applications receive urgent consideration. Non-emergency applications will be considered according to the following schedule:
  Winter 2007: Applications received by January 23; decision by March 1.
  Spring 2007: Application received by April 1; decision by June 1.
  Fall 2007: Applications received by September 1; decision by November 1.

The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University’s Center for International Development invites applications for resident fellowships in sustainability science for the University’s academic year beginning in September 2007.

The fellowship competition is open to advanced doctoral and post-doctoral students, and to professionals engaged in the practice of harnessing science and technology to promote sustainable development.

Successful applicants will spend their fellowships in residence at the Sustainability Science Program, receiving a competitive stipend plus health, office space and computer support, and access to Harvard’s libraries and other research facilities.

Fellows will be expected to spend about half time on their own work, and half time in collaborative work with other fellows and faculty associated with the Program.
The Sustainability Science Program seeks to advance basic understanding of the dynamics of human-environment systems; to facilitate the design, implementation, and evaluation of practical interventions that promote sustainability in particular places and contexts; and to improve linkages between relevant research and innovation communities on the one hand, and relevant policy and management communities on the other.

Applicants should describe how their work would contribute to “sustainability science,” the emerging field of use-inspired research seeking understanding of the interactions between human and environmental systems as well as the application of such knowledge to sustainability challenges relating to advancing development of agriculture, habitation, energy and materials, health and water while conserving the earth’s life support systems.

In addition to general funds available to support this fellowship offering, special funds are available to support applicants from developing countries and Italy, who are therefore particularly encouraged to apply.

Applicants should send via email (not hard copy) a preliminary application by 15 December 2006.

The preliminary application should include:
a cover sheet (http://www.cid.harvard.edu/sustsci/grants/fellows/07_fellows_cover_sheet.htm),
preliminary research proposal (3 pages maximum),
CV (3 pages maximum).

It should  be emailed to sustsci_grants@ksg.harvard.edu

Applicants will be notified by December 22 whether they are invited to submit a full proposal.

Full proposals must be supported by a Harvard faculty member who is prepared to work with the fellow. Fellows may make their own faculty contacts, but the Program will also seek to facilitate matching of faculty with fellows.

The deadline for full applications is 1 February 2007.

The Program invariably receives more strong applications than can be supported with the funds available. Prospective fellows are therefore strongly urged to pursue additional sources of stipendiary and research support that they can draw on if they are admitted to the fellowship program but full funding is not available to cover their expenses. Applications from those with their own resources are also welcome.
