SCAR early career researcher fellowships

The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Committee’s INSTANT Scientific Research Program ‘Instability and Thresholds in Antarctica’s Ice Sheets’ is funding fellowships for early career researchers.

Applications for SCAR fellowships should address the objectives and priority questions in INSTANT's Science and Implementation plan.

INSTANT fellowships are $US5000. Co-funding with other sources is encouraged. In this round, up to four fellowships will be funded. Please visit the INSTANT Fellowship webpage for application templates and more information.
