Dear list members,
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in cooperation
with the National Research Council (NRC), offers competitive awards for
2-year postdoctoral research appointments in a broad variety of
scientific fields. These awards provide a select group of scientists and
engineers an opportunity for research in many of the areas that are of
deep concern to the scientific and technological community. NIST, with
direct responsibilities for the U.S. measurement network, involves its
laboratories in the most modern developments in the physical,
engineering, information, and mathematical sciences and the technological
developments that proceed from them.
......................................................
Some of the opportunities for research at NIST include:
Isotopic and Chemical Measurements to Study the Origin and
Transport of Atmospheric Contaminants Affecting Pollution and Climate
Change [50.83.71.B1659].
Chemical/Isotopic "Fingerprinting" by Gas Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry
[50.83.71.B4047].
Gas Chromatography/Combustion/14C Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Applied
to the Source Characterization of Chemically Heterogeneous Materials
[50.83.71.B4048].
Characterizing and Tracking Anthropogenic Sources of Atmospheric
Emissions that Affect Health and Climate [50.83.71.B4049].
Inorganic Mass Spectrometry and Elemental Isotopic Metrology
[50.83.91.B1713].
........................................................
The competition is open only to citizens of the United States who have
held the doctorate (Ph.D., Sc.D. or equivalent) for less than five years
at the time of application. Annual base salary is $50,000 plus $5,500 for
travel, incidental equipment, and other research expenses. Each applicant
must develop and submit an original research proposal that relates to a
specific research opportunity at NIST, and all application materials must
be postmarked no later than January 15, 2000 -- if awarded, appointments
normally start about October 1, 2000 although some flexibility exists.
Furthers details are available at the Website

Research Associateships Book. Copies of this book and application
materials may be obtained from Ms. Janice H. Campbell
