About this position

National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) / University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is inviting applications for the Climate & Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship in Boulder, Colorado, USA. This is a postdoctoral opportunity focused on climate science, Earth system science, freshwater, ocean, carbon and biogeochemical cycles, energy, decarbonization, data assimilation, and statistical methods.

The fellowship supports innovative, independent or collaborative research across physical, social, and integrated sciences. Fellows are hosted by a mentoring scientist at a U.S. university, research institution, or federal agency, and the research must address climate-related questions with broader impacts for society, resilience, and sustainability. The program emphasizes novel, original research proposals that are not derived from previously funded proposals.

Funding includes a fixed annual salary of $82,650, UCAR employee benefits, and allowances for relocation, travel, and publications. The role is a 2-year term, with visa sponsorship and relocation assistance eligible. Work must be performed within the United States (excluding U.S. territories); remote work is not available.

Eligibility highlights include a PhD related to climate or global change research, or completion of the degree and all thesis revisions/defense by June 2027. Preference is given to applicants seeking their first fellowship and those who earned the PhD within the last three years. Applicants must also change institutions unless a compelling waiver applies.

Application materials must be combined into one PDF and submitted through Workday. Required materials include a personal statement, CV with publication list, a 5-page research proposal, host institution documents, and reference information for two referees. The deadline is 2026-10-16.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
