IIASA is now accepting online applications for its annual three month Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) for talented young scientists, whose interests correspond with IIASA’s ongoing research on issues of global environmental, economic and social change. The program offers a select group of advanced graduate students the opportunity to work with top scientists in an international and interdisciplinary environment on projects related to their own doctoral research in the natural and social sciences.

IIASA does not charge a tuition fee and special grants are available for selected candidates. Applications close January 17, 2011.

2.     POSTDOC 2011

IIASA is now accepting online applications for its annual Postdoc Scholarship Program of up to two years' duration. It encourages and promotes the development of young researchers and offers them the opportunity to further their careers by gaining hands-on professional research experience in an international scientific environment. Scholars are expected to conduct their own research within one of IIASA's research programs or special projects on topics closely related to IIASA's agenda.

IIASA provides full funding for two postdoctoral researchers each year. Applications for the Postdoc 2011 scholarships will close on February 28, 2011.
