Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (AGS-PRF) is a fellowship from NSF Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences that funds highly qualified early-career researchers to conduct independent research in atmospheric chemistry, climate and large-scale dynamics, paleoclimate, physical and dynamic meteorology, aeronomy, and magnetospheric physics.
The program supports fellows in broadening their scientific perspectives, fostering interdisciplinary interactions, and establishing leadership positions within the atmospheric and geospace sciences. Annual stipends range from approximately $100,000 to $102,000. Eligible applicants are individuals who hold a recent Ph.
D. in atmospheric or geospace sciences and are U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents. No current deadline is listed.

Supports postdoctoral researchers in performing work that will broaden their perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and help establish them in leadership positions within the atmospheric and geospace sciences communities.
Supports postdoctoral researchers in performing work that will broaden their perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and help establish them in leadership positions within the atmospheric and geospace sciences communities. The Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS), awards Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (PRF) to highly qualified early career investigators to carry out an independent research program.
The research plan of each Fellowship must address scientific questions within the scope of AGS disciplines. These disciplines include Atmospheric Chemistry (ATC), Climate and Large-Scale Dynamics (CLD), Paleoclimate (PC), and Physical and Dynamic Meteorology (PDM) in the Atmospheric Sciences, and Aeronomy (AER), Magnetospheric Physics (MAG), Solar Terrestrial (ST), and Space Weather Research (SWR) in the Geospace Sciences.
The AGS-PRF program supports researchers (also known as Fellows) for a period of up to 24 months with Fellowships that can be taken to the institution of their choice.
The program is intended to recognize beginning investigators of significant potential and provide them with experiences in research that will broaden perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and help establish them in leadership positions within the Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences community. Fellowships are awards to individual Fellows, not institutions, and are administered by the Fellows.
