NSF NCAR and UCAR Postdoc Committees

NSF NCAR and UCP Committees
NSF NCAR and UCP postdoctoral fellows provide ongoing advice to the Director and organize the Seminar Series, the NSF NCAR and UCP Research Reviews, NSF NCAR and UCP Professional Development workshops, and NSF NCAR and UCP Fellows (social) Networking meetings. Membership on these Committees evolves from year to year as the fellows come and go from the program. Their current make-up can be found at the end of this page.

Advice from Outside NSF NCAR
At their semiannual meetings the UCAR President's Advisory Council for University Relations (PACUR) provides the Director with external feedback and advice on the major ASP program elements: the Postdoctoral Fellowship, Graduate Visitor, and Faculty Fellowship programs. In addition, a PACUR subcommittee annually reviews the Faculty Fellowship applications and makes recommendations to the Director about selections.

Advice from NSF NCAR Scientists
Ever year the NSF NCAR Associate Directors nominate members of their scientific staff to serve on the Postdoctoral Fellowship Selection Committee. These nominees serve as the interface between the ASP and the NSF NCAR scientific and technical staff at large. They also support the ASP Director in every aspect of the postdoctoral fellowship review and selection processes.
