Resident Research Associateship (USAF/NRC-RRA) Program
Submission Date: November 1, February 1, May 1, and August 1
Program Description:
The USAF/NRC-RRA Program offers postdoctoral and senior scientists and engineers opportunities to perform research at sponsoring Air Force laboratories. The objectives of the program are (1) to provide researchers of unusual promise and ability opportunities to solve problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the hosting laboratories; and (2) to contribute to the overall efforts of the Air Force laboratories.
Postdoctoral Research Associateships are awarded to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have held doctorates for less than 5 years at the time of application. They are made initially for 1 year and may be renewed for up to two additional terms. A small number of associateships may be available for foreign citizens if laboratory funds are available.
Senior Research Associateships are awarded to individuals who have held doctorates for more than 5 years, have significant research experience, and are recognized internationally as experts in their specialized fields, as evidenced by numerous publications in reviewed journals, invited presentations, authorship of books or book chapters, andprofessional society awards of international stature. Although awards to senior associates are usually for 1 year, awards for periods of 3 months or longer will be considered. U.S. citizenship is not a requirement.
Associates receive a stipend from the NRC while carrying out their proposed research. The 2006 annual stipend for a regular associate is $55,000, with additional increments for each year past the Ph.D. An appropriately higher stipend is offered to senior associates.
Awardees also receive a relocation reimbursement and may be supported with limited funds for professional travel.
