ESA has just opened the call for new post-doctoral research fellowships called The Living Planet Fellowship.
These concern fellowships in the host institute, funded up to 70% by ESA.
The deadline for for applications is 30 June.

Overview
The first Call for Research Proposals of the Living Planet Fellowship has been opened today. This initiative
represents the follow-on of the STSE Changing Earth Science Network.
The main objective of this initiative is to provide support to young
researchers who have a doctoral degree and who would like to initiate a
scientific career in the context of Earth Observation, Earth science and
Climate research. Candidate researchers are encouraged to submit research proposals responding to one of following Programmatic Areas:
A) Support To Science:
- Scientific exploitation of ESA’s Earth Explorer missions (i.e. SMOS,
CryoSat, GOCE and Swarm), developing and validating innovative methods, novel
products and promoting new scientific results.
- Earth System Science research maximising the exploitation of ESA missions
and long-term ESA archives (e.g. ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat), also in synergy with
other ESA and non-ESA data sets, specifically addressing the new scientific
challenges of the Living Planet Programme.
B) Scientific Exploitation of the Sentinels:
- Development and validation of advanced EO methods and products for
scientific exploitation of the continued observations and innovative features
of the Sentinel missions (Sentinel 1, Sentinel 2, Sentinel 3 or Sentinel 5P).
- Developing novel scientific methods and tools for enhancing the synergetic
exploitation of the Sentinel missions (Sentinel 1, Sentinel 2, Sentinel 3 and
Sentinel 5P).
C) Climate Change Initiative:
-Exploiting Essential Climate Variable (ECV) products generated by the ESA.s
Climate Change Initiative (CCI) for improved understanding of the climate
system.
- Examining Cross-ECV consistency and multiple ECV use (those under the CCI
Programme in particular).
Selected project proposals, will be awarded with a maximum budget of 40KEuro per year as a co-funding contribution to a standard post-doctoral position plus 3KEuro to cover costs associated to travels, conference fees and publications. The Host Institution shall co-finance and provide a
post-doctoral contract to the candidate to undertake the research activity
proposed. The Host Institution shall contribute with, as a minimum, 30% of
the overall cost for the two years.
The documentation and call information (Call for Research Proposals package)
can be downloaded from the link
Proposal and all supporting documents must be sent by e-mail to:
EOScience@esa.int by no later than 30 June 2014 (the Closing Date).
