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.
Sang Eon Han, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of New Mexico, is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award.
The $500,000 award begins June 1, 2016 and continues through May 31, 2021. Han's project is titled “Symmetry Control in Photonic Nanostructures for Enhanced Optical Properties.”
Assistant Professor in Civil Engineering, Gregory Rowangould, received an Early Career Award from the Environmetal Protection Agency (EPA)'s Particulate Matter and Related Pollutants in a Changing World program. Professor Rowangould's project, "Evaluating the Timeline of Particulate Matter Exposure from Urban Transportation and Land-Use Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategies Using a Novel Modeling Framework " will allow him to model how changes in traffic patterns and land use affect greenhouse gas and toxic air pollutant emissions from vehicle use.
Assistant Professor in the department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Lindsay Worthington, was awarded an American Chemical Society (ACS) Doctoral New Investigator (DNI) award which is a starter grant awarded to facultyin Ph.D. granting departments. She will receive $110,000 over 3 years to conduct research concerning "Characterizing Basin Structure with Dense Passive Seismic Arrays".
Assistant Professor Yin Yang was recently awarded a CISE Research Initiation Initiative grant from the National Science Foundation. The goal of this award is to encourage research independence immediately upon obtaining one's first academic position after receipt of the PhD in order to initiate the course of one's independent research. It is expected that funds will be used to support untenured faculty or research scientists (or equivalent) in their first two years in an academic position after the PhD.
UNM faculty member Vanessa Svihla has been named a prestigious National Academy of Education (NAEd) / Spencer Postdoctoral Fellow due to his research and dedication to the field of education. Dr. Vanessa Svihla is an Assistant Professor for Organization, Information, and Learning Sciences in the College of University Libraries & Learning Sciences at the University of New Mexico. The title of her project is "Learning to Design and Designing to Learn".
