Peter Buck Fellowship Program
Background
Established with an endowment from Peter Buck in 2011, the Peter Buck Fellowship Program is considered the most important contribution to the intellectual vibrancy and influence of Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in its 100+ year history. Long-time member of the NMNH Board, Peter Buck, is a physicist, restaurateur, and philanthropist. To help play an active role in the scientific development of the next generation of scientists and foster intellectual exchange between the NMNH community and a diverse pool of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers he endowed this fellowship program.
The Peter Buck Fellowship Program is designed to complement the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP), allowing NMNH to offer more diverse and longer term fellowships.
Purpose
The purpose of the Peter Buck Fellowship program is to support full-time, resident, independent research focused on utilizing the NMNH collections and facilities. Awardees are expected to be actively involved in the scholarly activities of the Museum and the NMNH community in general.
The two central goals of the Peter Buck Fellowship Program are to train the next generation of scientists and museum professionals, and to increase the flow of new ideas, perspectives, and skills into the Museum community through full-time resident fellowships.
To accomplish this we mainly award multi-year postdoctoral fellowships, generally paired with first year awards through the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP), to external postdoctoral scholars who have received a PhD. or equivalent within the last five years.
Peter Buck fellowships are open to citizens of any country for them to conduct resident research as part of the NMNH community under the advisorship of an NMNH staff scientist.
Eligibility
Applicants should have a proven record of research accomplishment. Fellowships are available to US and non-US citizens. Applicants must write and converse fluently in English.
To be considered for a Peter Buck Fellowship award, researchers must have received their PhD. or equivalent degree and all formal requirements for a PhD. must be completed before the start of the tenure.
A Peter Buck Fellow may not also be a Smithsonian employee or contractor during the period of his/her fellowship appointment and may not hold another type of Smithsonian academic appointment (e.g., Research Associate or Internship) during his/her appointment as a fellow.
All Peter Buck Fellows are expected to be resident at NMNH (NHB, MSC, or SMS) full time and actively engaged in the NMNH community during the entire fellowship tenure.
Off-site absences of up to a total of four weeks, annually, such as to conduct/participate in field work, attend professional meetings, and otherwise actively pursue complementary scientific endeavors are generally permitted.
Only top candidates from the SIFP will be considered for award through the Peter Buck Fellowship Program. Only applicants who name an NMNH research scientist as their primary advisor and with review through the Evolutionary and Systematic Biology (ESB), Anthropology (ANTHRO), and Earth Sciences (EASCI) committees will be considered.
Research projects must actively make use of NMNH collections and facilities.
How it Works
Proposals for the Peter Buck Fellowship Program must be submitted through the central SI Fellowship Office, SIFP fellowship call. To be considered for a multi-year postdoctoral fellowship award through the Peter Buck Fellowship Program, applicants are encouraged to include a two year timeline as part of their application.
Applicant proposals will be reviewed by SI staff with expertise in the appropriate discipline and then reviewed, discussed, and ranked by the central SIFP fellowship committee who will assess the relative merit of proposals, candidate’s eligibility, and appropriateness for placement as part of the NMNH community. The NMNH Associate Director for Science (ADS) will consider committee recommendations, as well as other factors such as building a diverse community and supporting the Museums science strategy before selecting who will be awarded a Peter Buck Fellowship.
Stipend: Stipend rates for Peter Buck postdoctoral researchers are the same annual base stipend as other SIFP Fellows.
Research Allowance: In addition to stipend, Peter Buck Fellowship Program applicants may request a research allowance of up to $4,000 each year. This includes budget and justification for equipment, supplies, research-related travel costs, and other support required to conduct the proposed research (excluding stipend and relocation costs). Applicants are highly encouraged to include travel to, and participation in, professional meetings. The amount of research allowance awarded will be based upon the budget and justification presented by the applicant. Applicants are encouraged to discuss realistic research costs with NMNH staff, specifically the proposed NMNH advisor(s), before submitting an application.
Health Insurance Allowance: In addition to stipend, Peter Buck Fellows will be provided a health insurance allowance of $5,000 each year.
Relocation Allowance: Postdoctoral fellows may also be awarded a relocation allowance to assist with the fellow’s temporary relocation to the Smithsonian facility in which they will be primarily stationed. Relocation costs should NOT be included in the research allowance budget. This is independently determined by OFI and awarded separately.
How to Apply
Apply through: SOLAA
Follow all guidelines for the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP).
Applicants do not need apply separately or identify the Peter Buck Fellowship Program to be considered for award. To receive consideration, candidates must apply to the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP ) with a research proposal in an area of study related to Natural Museum of Natural History (NMNH) facilities, collections, and select as the primary advisor an NMNH research scientist from the Research Staff listing provided in SORS. Individuals listed as Affiliated Research Staff are eligible to co-advise, but not serve as primary advisor.
The application deadline and notification date for the Peter Buck Fellowship Program are the same as the SIFP.
Notification of status can be anticipated about 5 months following the application deadline; generally in March.
Fellowship tenure must be continuous and start within one year of notification; beginning no sooner than June 1.
Selection Criteria
In addition to the selection criteria for the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP), applicants will be considered for award through the Peter Buck Fellowship Program based on:
- Research of the highest intellectual and ethical standards
- Research topics with a clear connection and purpose for NMNH on-site investigation utilizing our collections and facilities
- Investigations that support the Museums science strategy
- Efforts toward creating a diverse community
