Gilbert F. White Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

Eligibility / Duration / Stipend

Eligibility -- The award is open to individuals in any discipline who have completed their doctoral requirements by the beginning of the 2008-2009 academic year. Teaching and/or research experience at the postdoctoral level is preferred though not essential. Individuals holding positions in government as well as at academic institutions are eligible.

Duration -- Gilbert White Fellows are normally in residence at RFF for eleven months.

Stipend -- Fellows receive an annual stipend based upon their current salary and also receive research support, office facilities at RFF, and an allowance of up to $1,000 for moving or living expenses. This stipend may be supplemented from other sources if the supplement does not divert the fellow from his or her research. Typically, visiting fellows have sabbatical support from their home institutions. Fellowships do not provide medical insurance or other RFF fringe benefits. Neither Social Security nor tax payments are deducted from the stipend.
