  1. National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) applications for Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

    The National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) is
    soliciting applications for its Postdoctoral Fellowship
    Program. Two-year fellowships are available in any U.S. laboratory
    carrying out space-related biomedical or biotechnological research
    that supports the NSBRI’s goals. NSBRI research addresses and seeks
    solutions to the various health concerns associated with
    long-duration human space exploration.

    Applicants must submit proposals with the support of a mentor and
    institution, and all proposals will be evaluated by a peer-review
    panel. The program is open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or
    persons with pre-existing visas obtained through their sponsoring
    institutions that permit postdoctoral training for the project’s duration.

    Detailed program and application submission information is available
    on the NSBRI Web site at www.nsbri.org/Announcements/rfa09-01.html .
    Notices of intent and applications must be submitted through the NASA
    Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System
    (NSPIRES). Notices of intent are due July 7, 2009, and the
    application deadline is August 4, 2009.
