The Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Rice
University is inviting applications for the Pan Postdoctoral Research
Fellowship. We are seeking candidates with independent research
interests that intersect with one or more faculty within our department
and who contribute positively to the diversity of the department through
outreach or other means. Both domestic and international applicants are
welcome. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment, but candidates
must have received their Ph.D. no more than 3 years before their start
date at Rice.
The research fellowships will be supported for two years, pending
satisfactory progress during the first year, and covers an annual
stipend of $60,000 with a benefits package and an additional annual
discretionary research allowance of $3,500. Applicants are requested to
develop a proposal of research to be undertaken during the fellowship
period. The principal selection criteria are scientific excellence, a
clearly expressed research plan to address questions at the forefront of
their field of study, research synergies with at least one faculty, and
a commitment to fostering diversity in their field of research. The
proposed research should encompass independent research ideas and
explore new directions beyond the applicant’s Ph.D. Preference will be
given to applicants whose proposals demonstrate independence and
originality, and also the potential for collaboration with one or more
faculty in the Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences.
Applicants are required to submit:
1. A current CV, including a list of publications
2. A brief synopsis of the applicant’s doctoral dissertation (no longer
than one page).
3. A brief diversity statement that explains the applicants’ interest
in, experience with, and/or planned commitment to addressing issues of
diversity, equity, and inclusion in their field of research (no longer
than one page)
4. A concise research proposal (no longer than three pages, including
figures, excluding references) describing the applicants research
interests, specifically the research that the applicant would like to
pursue at Rice
5. The names of potential Rice faculty who could serve as postdoctoral
mentors
All five documents should be submitted as a single PDF file to the
fellowship search committee (esci-postdoc at rice.edu

letters of reference should be submitted by three referees to the same
