Description

Center (Sabbatical) Fellows come to NCEAS for a few months to a year (longer stays are much preferred). NCEAS supports approximately six (6) fellows/year. Fellows may propose a creative mix of Working Group activities as part of their proposals. They are expected to spend their time at NCEAS and to interact with other resident and visiting scientists. After proposals are selected, sabbatical arrangements will be confirmed with each fellow's home institution.

Financial Information

Center Fellows are provided a housing allowance and up to 50% salary support for every month in residence, depending on the arrangements with their home institutions (i.e., if the home institution pays more than 50% of the sabbatical salary, NCEAS will provide proportionately less). NCEAS will provide a housing allowance of up to $1,750 for a family, $1,500 for a single residency, or the amount of your rent, whichever is less. Salaries for Center Fellows are based on the individual's salary at his or her home institution. Some international Center Fellows may be eligible for salary adjustments based on equity considerations. International PIs with concerns should contact NCEAS before submitting their proposal.
