The
Schlumberger Foundation Faculty for the Future program, launched in
2004, awards fellowships to women from developing and emerging economies
to pursue PhD or post-doctoral studies in the physical sciences*,
engineering and technology at leading universities abroad*.
The
long-term goal of the Faculty for the Future program is to generate
conditions that result in more women pursuing academic careers in
scientific disciplines thus contributing to the socio-economic
development of their home countries and regions.
The
Faculty for the Future program is growing each
year and has become a powerful community of 257 women scientists from 62
countries. Grant recipients are selected as much for their leadership
capabilities as for their scientific talents. Ultimately they are
expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic
careers, to further their research, to teach and to become inspirational
role models for other young women.
Faculty
for the Future grants are based on actual costs up to a maximum of USD
50,000 per year and may be renewed through to completion of studies
subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from
supervisors.
Candidates
should have applied to, have been admitted to, or be currently enrolled
in a university abroad* when submitting their Faculty for the Future
grant application. Candidates must hold an excellent academic record and
be able to evidence their commitment to teaching, research or using
science in public policy advocacy. Candidates should demonstrate
leadership skills and have a track record in encouraging young women
into the sciences.
* Related disciplines may also be awarded. For example, awards in biological sciences are limited to interdisciplinary
research between physical and biological sciences.
*In a developed country.
