Application Deadline: 15 August 2024
The Past Global Changes (PAGES) International Mobility Research Fellowship Program supports Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) early-career researchers pursuing international research experience in paleoscience and is intended to support costs associated with inter-LAC region travel and living expenses while abroad, i.e. flight (economy class), visa, and accommodation (subsistence and housing) costs for the period of the exchange, for the fellow only. Insurance will not be covered by the grant. PAGES cannot be deemed responsible if the candidate cannot travel for any reason (such as flight cancelation).
- Field of study: The research topics are open to all fields of paleosciences as long as the applicant can show that they are related to PAGES’ scope.
- Fellowship support: Up to USD 5,000. Number of grants: Variable, depending on the merit of applications received and availability of external resources.
- Host Institution: The choice of the host institution is left to the applicant.
The host institution:
a) must be in a LAC country;
b) must be in a different country of the applicant’s citizenship and home institution; and
c) cannot be an institution where the applicant has previous experience or has studied.
Duration: - – The fellowships will be awarded for a short duration, maximum one month. The fellowship must be used within 12 months (awardees will have up to 12 months to take up their fellowship once awarded).
Eligibility Requirements
The applicants must fulfill the following conditions:
• Early-career scientists – either PhD students in the final stage of completing their thesis/dissertation, or postdoctoral researchers (within five years of completing their degree). We encourage applications from scientists who have not yet had the opportunity to conduct research abroad.
• Citizens of a LAC country and currently working or doing PhD at a LAC institution.
• The research topics are open to all fields of paleosciences, as long as the applicant can show that they are related to PAGES’ scope (https://pastglobalchanges.org/about/general-overview).
• Individuals willing to conduct research at a LAC research institution not located in their home country.
