SBE supports early-career scientists with 25 new postdoctoral fellowship awards
SBE supports highly qualified early-career scientists across a range of disciplines.
December 21, 2022
The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences has awarded postdoctoral fellowships to 25 early-career researchers. The fellowships will support research on a range of subjects including the development of adolescent risk-taking behavior, factors that contribute to successful forest restoration, the archaeology of the antebellum south and language processing in people who speak multiple dialects.
Each postdoctoral fellow will receive two years of research support. In addition to conducting fundamental research, fellows are mentored by a sponsoring senior researcher to help prepare them for a career in science.
“This cohort of fellows demonstrates the importance of broadening participation in science through the diversity of their respective demographic backgrounds, scientific disciplines and the societal impacts of their research,” says Josie Miranda, director of the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships program. “The National Science Foundation is extremely proud to support the next generation of social, behavioral and economic scientists who will undoubtedly make important contributions to the U.S. scientific enterprise.”
