NCEM Fellowship
Visiting Scientist Program
The National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) offers a fellowship program that gives participants the opportunity to conduct research and use the facility's advanced transmission electron microscopes.
This program is primarily intended for recently appointed faculty/investigator electron microscopists, resident in the U.S. or Mexico, who:
- Are in the process of setting up new facilities or awaiting delivery of new equipment;
- Could benefit from using NCEM’s unique instrumentation and interacting with our staff.
Other postdoctoral applicants with suitable experience and graduate students at an advanced stage of thesis work will also be considered. Fellowship awards are based on the recommendations of the NCEM Scientific Advisory Committee.
Research conducted on a Visiting Scientist Fellowship should be completed within one year of the award. Each fellowship award will be supported up to a maximum of $6,000. Levels of support for each fellowship will be determined by NCEM. Award funds are to be used only to assist with travel and living expenses during the visit period.
The twice-yearly deadlines for applications are March 15 and September 15. For more information, please contact:
