CIRES' Visiting Fellows Program
opportunities for rewarding collaborations in a world-class research setting
Under the sponsorship of NOAA, CIRES offers Visiting Fellowships at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Every year CIRES awards several visiting fellowships to scientists at many levels, from postdoctoral to senior level. Since 1967 more than 265 people have been Visiting Fellows at CIRES, including previous CIRES Director, Susan Avery, and current Director, Konrad Steffen. A Research and Education Fellowship is specifically funded for work in the area of education and outreach.
