Description

Sabbatical visitors come to the Center for a few months to a year (longer stays are much preferred). The Center supports approximately six (6) Fellows/year. Fellows may propose a creative mix of Working Group activities as part of their proposals. They are expected to spend their time at the Center and interact with other NCEAS resident and visiting scientists. Confirmation of the Fellow's sabbatical arrangements with his or her home institution will occur after proposals are selected.

Financial Information

Sabbatical Fellows are provided a housing allowance and up to 50% salary support for every month in residence, depending on the arrangements with their home institutions (i.e., if the home institution pays more than 50% of the sabbatical salary, NCEAS will provide proportionately less). Sabbatical Fellows receive a housing allowance to offset their local rent expenses up to $1,500 for singles or $1,750 for families. Salaries for Sabbatical Fellows are based on the individual's salary at his or her home institution. Some international Sabbatical Fellows may be eligible for salary adjustments based on equity considerations. International PIs with concerns should contact NCEAS before submitting their proposal.
