The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is pleased to invite applications for a 2011 AMS graduate fellowship in the history of science, to be awarded to a student wishing to complete a dissertation on the history of the atmospheric, or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences. The award carries a $15,000 stipend and will support one year of dissertation research.
The goal of the graduate fellowship is to generate a dissertation topic in the history of the atmospheric, or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences, and to foster close working relations between historians and scientists. An effort will be made to place the student into a mentoring relationship with an AMS member at an appropriate institution.
To apply, candidates must submit the following:
- a cover letter with vita
- official transcripts from undergraduate and graduate institutions
- a typewritten, detailed description of the dissertation topic and proposed research plan (10 page maximum)
