Call for Applications for the
2010 Faculty for the Future Fellowships
Fellowships for women from developing and emerging economies
Candidates have from October 5th to November 30th 2009 to apply for the
Schlumberger Foundation 2010 Faculty for the Future fellowships.
Faculty for the Future fellowships are awarded to women from developing and
emerging economies who are preparing for PhD postdoctoral study in the physical
sciences, engineering and related disciplines* to pursue advanced graduate study
at top universities in their disciplines abroad.
Launched by the Schlumberger Foundation in 2004, Faculty for the Future has
grown to become a community of 110 women from 35 countries.
The long-term goal of the Faculty for the Future program is to generate
conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific disciplines. Grant
recipients are therefore selected as much for their leadership capabilities as
their scientific talents and they are expected to return to their home countries
to continue their academic careers and inspire other young women.
Faculty for the Future grants are in the range of USD 25,000 to 50,000 per
year, and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to
performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors. The amount
of the grant depends on the actual costs of study and living in the chosen
location.
Candidates should be enrolled or applying to their selected graduate schools
when submitting their Faculty for the Future grant request. Candidates must have
a proven track record of teaching experience, demonstrate active participation
in faculty life and outreach to encourage young women into the sciences and hold
an excellent academic record.
The online application form will be available as of October 5th, 2009. Sample
versions of new forms are now available for consultation at the link below so
candidates can start preparing their application content. Further information
