About this opportunity

The primary program objectives of the NIST Recovery Act Measurement Science and Engineering Fellowship Program are:1. To provide opportunities for scientists and engineers in training to perform research in broad areas of measurement science at NIST through research fellowships called Research Training Fellowships. Research Training Fellowships will be offered to qualified undergraduate students and graduate students at universities and colleges, and to postdoctoral researchers, in fields of science and engineering that contribute to NIST’s measurement science programs. 2. To provide opportunities for practicing scientists and engineers in the public and private sectors to perform research in broad areas of measurement science at NIST through research fellowships called Senior Research Fellowships. Senior Research Fellowships will be offered to qualified scientists and engineers working at private firms, non-profit organizations, universities and colleges, and other organizations in fields of science and engineering that contribute to NIST’s measurement science programs.NIST intends this financial assistance program to address both types of opportunities listed above through a single cooperative agreement, or through more than one cooperative agreement.Through the cooperative agreement(s), the program will advance purposes established in Section 3 of the Recovery Act by:• creating jobs, • promoting economic recovery,• providing investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science, and• by making investments in areas of research that will provide long-term economic benefits. NIST performs a broad range of other activities to support its broad measurement science and engineering programs in ten operating units comprising the NIST laboratories: Technology Services (TS, www.ts.nist.gov NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR, www.ncnr.nist.gov NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST, www.cnst.nist.gov Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory (EEEL, www.eeel.nist.gov Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL, www.mel.nist.gov Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory (CSTL, www.cstl.nist.gov Physics Laboratory (PL, www.physics.nist.gov Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL, www.msel.nist.gov Building Fire and Research Laboratory (BFRL, www.bfrl.nist.gov and Information Technology Laboratory (ITL, www.itl.nist.gov ). Descriptions of NIST measurement science and engineering programs can be found at the Websites for each of the laboratories and at www.nist.gov . All the Laboratories have research and measurement programs at the NIST Laboratories in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Several laboratories also have research and measurement programs at the NIST laboratories in Boulder, Colorado: ITL, and CSTL has research operations at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina. Additional information about NIST can be found at: www.nist.gov.A recipient of a NIST Recovery Act Measurement Science and Engineering Fellowships Program award will work jointly with NIST to publicize NIST measurement science opportunities, including those listed below. A recipient will identify candidates for fellowships from any educational institution or other entities such as a non-profit or for-profit organization. NIST and the recipient will collaborate in selecting Fellows for particular research opportunities based on cooperatively developed criteria. The recipient will provide all support, and other expenses associated with the fellowship using the funds from the cooperative agreement. A recipient may cooperate with any institution of higher education and other organizations to support Fellows to collaborate with NIST programs in or Charleston, South Carolina. Any participating undergraduate or graduate student must also be enrolled in an academic program acceptable to both the recipient and to NIST.
