SCAR Fellowships 2024 for Climate Researchers from Developing Countries

In 2024 the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is announcing the SCAR scheme for researchers within 5 years of finishing their PhD in Antarctic and Southern Ocean-related disciplines.

Application Deadline: 9th September 2024

Eligible Countries: Developing countries

To be taken at (country): Antartica

About the Award: The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) initiated the SCAR Fellowship Programme in 2002. The aim was to encourage the active involvement of early-career researchers in Antarctic scientific research and to build new connections and further strengthen international capacity and cooperation in Antarctic research. Since the initiation of the programme, more than 80 SCAR Fellowships have been awarded.

The SCAR Fellowship Programme is designed to encourage the active involvement of early-career researchers in furthering our understanding of Antarctica. The Fellowships enable early-career researchers to join a project team from another country, opening up new opportunities and often creating partnerships that last many years and over many Antarctic research seasons.

Some flexibility was introduced during the pandemic and this will continue. Applicants are able to propose partly or entirely remote Fellowships and, where issues later develop around travel or planned activities, we will work with awardees to enable their fellowships to go ahead.

In 2024, additional funding is being provided by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation through the Polar Initiative. We will therefore once again be awarding 4-5 Fellowships this year.

Type: Fellowship

Eligibility: SCAR fellowships are open to researchers within 5 years of finishing their PhD in Antarctic and Southern Ocean-related disciplines.
