A joint initiative of the InBev-Baillet Latour Fund and the International Polar Foundation, the €150,000 research grant aims to promote scientific excellence in Antarctica and underscores the crucial role polar science plays in furthering our understanding of the Earth and how it functions.
Application Guidelines: Since 2012, the InBev-Baillet Latour Antarctica Fellowship has been open to applicants from any country around the world.
Applicants must be either doctoral researchers or post-doctoral researchers who have completed their PhD within the past 10 years.
Due to potential research opportunities available in the vicinity of the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica station (located in Dronning Maud Land in East Antarctica at 71.57°S 23.20°E), applicants must submit an original research proposal in one of the four following disciplines:
- atmospheric sciences
- glaciology
- geology
- microbiology (excluding marine microbiology)
The 2014 call for proposals will open in February. Watch this space for further information on how to apply for the fellowship. In the meantime, if you have any questions, we encourage you to contact us at: fellowship@polarfoundation.org
