Fulbright-Garcia Robles Postdoctoral Scholar Award

Eligibility

Fulbright-Garcia Robles Postdoctoral Scholar Award, with an application deadline in September, offers 4 awards of $5100 each.

Description

The Fulbright-Garcia Robles Postdoctoral Scholar Award aims to support postdoctoral fellows undertaking original research, working to publish research findings, developing and expanding personal research networks, and preparing for research-intensive careers, especially within academia. As teaching experience can also be included in professional development, this grant allows a Research/Teaching mix, not to exceed a 30 percent teaching to 70 percent research ratio. Applicants for a combined project are required to indicate the proposed ratio of teaching to research in the project statement. Projects in medical sciences that do not include patient contact will be considered. Projects are sought in all disciplines. Applicants may propose an appropriate host. Ph.D. (or other terminal degree) is required. Candidates are only considered eligible for a postdoctoral stay if they received their Ph.D. within five years of the Fulbright award start date. Selected candidates must submit proof of Ph.D. completion prior to award acceptance. Applicants are required to have an intermediate level of Spanish language proficiency. Applicants must register a qualified language evaluator, such as a language instructor or a translator, to conduct the external assessment in the application. Being a native speaker alone does not qualify an individual to conduct the assessment. A letter of invitation from a qualified Mexican university, accredited institution, research facility or government agency is required at the time of application close date. The application also requires two recommendations. Please visit the award's website or contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars for more information.
