About the series
On November 14 from 3 pm to 4 pm EST, the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) is hosting an office hour on the OPP Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (OPP-PRF) program. The current solicitation can be found on the NSF website. During the office hour, we will discuss the program, eligibility, the application process, and NSF review criteria. Program officers will go over frequently asked questions and there will be plenty of time for attendees to ask their own questions.
OPP-PRF provides opportunities for early career scientists, including social scientists, to conduct two years of research on a polar science topic with an expert mentor. The program provides a salary plus a research allowance for travel, supplies, and other expenses. Applicants may have already worked in the polar regions or they may be new to polar science. Examples of previous and current awardees can be found on the PRF awardees webpage.
If you are interested in applying to this program, please join the office hours to meet the program officers, learn about this amazing opportunity, and ask your own questions. Registration for the event is required and can be found here.
Regardless of whether you can join this event, please contact opp-prf@nsf.gov with any questions you may have.
