Dear friends and colleagues:

Last week, we began accepting applications for our inaugural WRF Postdoctoral Fellowship recruitment. Our goal is to select up to 10 exceptional postdoctoral researchers each year to work in STEM subject areas at Washington state’s top research institutions.

We encourage you to share this program with your colleagues, students and friends. We hope, and expect, to attract the highest caliber applicants, and you can help us to achieve this. Applications will be accepted until Sunday, July 16, 2017.
