Deadline to apply for the International Postdoctoral Fellowship in Nursing

When:  May 1, 2013 from 04:00 AM to 11:59 PM (CT)

International Postdoctoral Fellowship in Nursing (STTI-INDEN Fellowship)

Jointly Sponsored by Sigma Theta Tau International and The International Network for Doctoral Education in Nursing.

Purpose

Enhance the quality of doctoral education worldwide by:

  • providing opportunities to nurse faculties in doctoral programs to strengthen their research skills and learn about doctoral education and mentoring in an international context;
  • laying the foundation for future international research collaboration and multi-site studies; and
  • opening avenues for international exchange of scholars.

Who can apply?

The fellowship is limited to recent (within the past 5 years) doctoral graduates from low and middle income countries who hold faculty positions in doctoral programs, and who supervise doctoral student research.

What does the fellowship provide?

The fellowship provides a monthly stipend of $1,760 (USD)/month for the 3 months of the fellowship. The stipend should be sufficient for room and board, local transportation, and purchase of health insurance available in most countries for students. The fellowship also provides a modest honorarium for mentors.

Where will fellows be placed?

Fellows will be placed in research intensive environments in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, or Australia and matched with investigators in the fellow’s proposed area of research. Applicants may suggest appropriate venues and potential mentors for the consideration of the selection committee. The selection committee, composed of STTI and INDEN members, will locate appropriate settings using extensive contacts developed through the diverse membership of STTI and INDEN.
