Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Opportunity with the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center

Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center Research Fellowship Program Summary

The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) 2022-2023 Research Fellowship Program is currently accepting applications from graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The program supports research related to climate adaptation for Northwest natural and cultural resource management and provides training in the principles and practices of developing decision-relevant science.

The program allows for self-submission by the students and postdoctoral scholars, but the proposals are awarded to Boise State as a sponsored project. To assure accurate proposals, students and postdoctoral scholars are required to obtain institutional approval to submit prior to uploading a proposal.  Any graduate students or postdoctoral scholars who want to apply must work with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to submit following the timeline below.  OSP encourages faculty advisors to share this opportunity with students and postdoctoral scholars.
