[Taxacom] Call for Encyclopedia of Life Rubenstein Fellows Applications

[Cynthia Parr]

The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is now accepting applications for its
2011 Rubenstein Fellows competition.

This international program seeks to support and extend the impact of
original biodiversity research by postgraduates, graduate students,
and other early career scientists. Rubenstein Fellows funds provide
partial support for up to one year so that biodiversity research,
databases, and media can be effectively translated into rich, online
resources available through the Encyclopedia of Life. Fellows must
work in collaboration with a research mentor and may encourage
collaborative and synthetic work with a community of colleagues.

Fellows and mentors also help EOL to develop effective strategies for
engaging and supporting the scientific community.

For more information on the program and to download the application
package, please visit http://www.eol.org/content/page/fellows.

?Applications must be submitted via email to fellows_program at eol.org
no later than 15 September 2010.

Questions regarding the EOL Fellows competition should be directed to
the EOL Fellows Coordinator at fellows_program at eol.org.
