There are a number of Early Career specific funding opportunities. You can find more about them by searching the Early Career Investigator Funding Opportunities page. Below is an archive celebrating the early career specific achievements of principal investigators at the University of New Mexico.
University of New Mexico Assistant Professor Elohim Becerra received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award for his proposal “Quantum Measurements for Optical Communications.” His home department is Physics and Astronomy but he is also an active member of CQuIC, the Center for Quantum Information and Control.
Habteyes is the recipient of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award. The accolade is considered to be one of the most competitive and prominent programs in the country and is designed to help early-career faculty get strong starts in their academic careers. Habteyes’ proposal, “Near-Field Imaging for Nanoscale Visualization of Exciton-Plasmon Energy Transfer” was awarded $600,000 over five years. The money will help him and his team of graduate and undergraduate researchers continue to develop a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize basic understanding of nanoscale interaction that is relevant for a variety of applications including solar cells, sensing, catalysis, spectroscopy and microscopic imaging.
José M. Cerrato, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of New Mexico, just received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award for his collaborative work with Native communities. The focus of his project is to measure the environmental impact that abandoned uranium mines have had in these communities and develop methods to lessen the effects.
Assistant Professor from the Department of Psychology, Ben Clark, was recently awarded an Alzheimer‟s Association Research Grant. This sponsor aims to fund investigators who are less than 10 years past their doctoral or post residency (MD or DO) to provide funding that will allow them to develop preliminary or pilot data, to test procedures and to develop hypotheses. Dr. Clark studies the neural mechanisms of spatial disorientation in Alzheimer's disease.
University of New Mexico Assistant Professor Alejandro Manjavacas has been awarded the prestigious Royal Spanish Society of Physics – BBVA Foundation Award for Physics. This accolade, given in the category of Theoretical Physics, is annually presented to a Spanish physicist under the age of 35.
