    <p>The NASA Postdoctoral Program offers U.S. and international scientists the opportunity to advance their research while contributing to NASA’s scientific goals. The NPP supports fundamental science; explores the undiscovered; promotes intellectual growth; and encourages scientific connections.</p>
    <p>Selected by a competitive peer-review process, NPP Fellows complete one- to three-year Fellowship appointments that advance NASA’s missions in earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, space bioscience, aeronautics and engineering, human exploration and space operations, and astrobiology.</p>
    <p>Current research opportunities can be viewed on-line: <a href="https://npp.usra.edu/opportunities/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://npp.usra.edu/opportunities/</a></p>
    <p>Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in hand before beginning the fellowship, but may apply while completing the degree requirements. U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, and foreign nationals eligible for J-1 status as a Research Scholar, may apply.</p>
    <p>Stipends start at $60,000 per year, with supplements for high cost-of-living areas and for certain academic specialties. Financial assistance is available for relocation as well as subsidized health insurance, and $10,000 per year is provided for professional and programmatic travel.</p>
    <p>Applications are accepted three times each year:</p>
    <p>• March 1<br>
    • July1<br>
    • November 1</p>

<Title>Are you or do you know a &#8220;Rising Star&#8221;?</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p><img src="https://promiseagep.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/pace.png?w=630" alt="pace" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>Drs. Cynthia Leifer and Hector Aguilar-Carreno in the Department of Microbiology &amp; Immunology, College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University have been awarded an NIH NIAID Research Education Program grant entitled “Cornell Program to Increase Faculty Diversity and Promote Research Excellence”.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Several departments within Cornell University have successfully employed targeted pre-interviews on an ad hoc basis to increase the diversity of their applicant pool for faculty positions. This has led to an increase in diverse hires.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>An exciting part of our program is that it will allow us to expand what has been done on a small ad hoc basis. We are looking for these “Rising Stars”: URM postdoctoral scientists doing high quality NIAID-mission related research getting ready to apply for faculty positions, to invite them to take part in a pre-interview at Cornell University. The pre-interview will include guidance on how to complete the application and formal interview process at Cornell. While taking part in the Rising Star program cannot guarantee a faculty position at Cornell, we can alert participants to upcoming openings. Any participant offered a position will be paired up with a mentor ambassador who can assist them in their decision. Once hired, the Rising Star will become a participant in the career development portions of the overall grant, which includes courses for skill development, research experience enhancement and mentoring.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>To be considered for the Rising Star program, please send a copy of your updated cv, a one page research statement and the contact information for 3 professional references to us at <a href="mailto:pace@cornell.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">pace@cornell.edu</a>.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>For more information about our program please visit our website at <a href="https://blogs.cornell.edu/pace/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://blogs.cornell.edu/pace/</a></p></div>
