Post date: Mar 16, 2011 10:22:59 PM

The International Center for Materials Research (ICMR) at UC Santa Barbara announces its International Research Fellowship competition for the 2010-2011 academic year. ICMR International Research Fellowships support research visits to non-US laboratories for graduate students, post-docs and junior faculty affiliated with US Institutions. Typical durations are a few weeks - 3 months, with award amounts for travel and expenses of up to $5000; we anticipate that the applicant will continue to receive their regular salary support from their home institution. Conference travel is not supported.

For applicants from institutions outside UCSB, the applications are evaluated twice a year, in spring and fall. The spring deadline to submit an application is April 30th. Applications received from May through October will be considered during the next application cycle in October 2011. The fall deadline to submit an application is October 31st. 

How to Apply:

Application materials, consisting of a 1-page description of the collaboration, emphasizing the nature and motivation for the international component, a short CV and (for students and postdocs) a letter of support from the advisor, should be sent to the ICMR Program Coordinator, Ra Thea (rthea@icmr.ucsb.edu). Our funding structure prioritizes collaborations with countries that are not in Western Europe.  If you have any questions, please contact Ra Thea rthea@icmr.ucsb.edu or Tresa Pollock pollock@engineering.ucsb.edu
