These fellowships are provided by the Agnese Nelms Haury Fund (Endowment) for the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research. The fellowships are intended to foster dendrochronology training of scientists from any country in the world, and to promote research collaborations with faculty, staff, and students at the LTRR. Visitors/trainees may be graduate students, postdoctoral fellows or established scientists. The Fellowships typically will last one or two months, and the support will usually cover travel costs to Tucson (and return) and living expenses during the visit.
We anticipate calling for applications for the Fellowship in Fall 2007 for visits in 2008.
Interested individuals are encouraged to contact a faculty member at the LTRR and to develop a tentative plan and schedule for the visit before submitting an application. The plan should specify potential areas of training or collaborations. For a list of faculty and descriptions of research topical areas see: http://www.ltrr.arizona.edu/research.html. Special attention will be given to applications pertaining to archaeology, but all areas of dendrochronology will be considered.
Applicants should note that a set of short summer courses (3 weeks) will be offered by LTRR in May of each year and these may be a particularly opportune time to visit so that fellows may participate in a course (see: http://www.ltrr.arizona.edu/summerschool/)
The University of Arizona is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Women and Minorities are encouraged to apply.
