*IRM Winter/Spring 2024 Visiting Fellowships - DEADLINE October 30th, 2023.*

<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cse.umn.edu/irm/irm-visiting-research-application__;!!Mih3wA!HzmWy9kLk_5uNX8DYmDY6IhsSbHgGxkmZAbxhLu-xiAhVfiRWeQ7IbhcKcRYdlhbY3jU8vrHQcauiUtxwA$>

The *Institute for Rock Magnetism (IRM)* at the University of Minnesota is
one of 30 national multi-user facilities in the Earth Sciences supported by
the US National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide advanced infrastructure
and expertise to the geoscience research and education communities.
Research at the IRM ranges from fundamental investigations of the physics
of fine-particle magnetism, to applied studies using the magnetic
characteristics of rocks, sediments, speleothems, and other materials to
investigate a wide variety of geological, geophysical, planetary,
environmental, climate, and surficial Earth processes.

We provide access and support for visiting scientists in five categories,
for which we encourage you to apply:

(1) Visiting Research Fellowships;
(2) U.S. Student Fellowships;
(3) Long-Core (u-channel) Magnetometer Fellowships;
(4) Magnetic Microscopy Fellowships;
(5) Remote Access Fellowships.

*Applications*

Applications and proposals are due* October 30th 2023* for visits during
the period from *January 1st 2024 *through* June 30th 2024*. Proposals will
be reviewed by IRM staff and members of our external Review and Advisory
Committee (RAC).

The link to the application form and information about required proposal
documents are available at

*Fellowship Category Overview*

*(1) Visiting Research Fellowships*

These awards provide subsidized access to the full set of IRM instruments
for up to 10 days: a Fellowship grant of $8000 may be used to offset the
costs of instrument use, and for partial reimbursement of travel costs (up
to $750). Topics for research are open to any field of study involving fine
particle magnetism, but preference will be given to projects relating
magnetism to geological or environmental studies, or to fundamental
physical studies relevant to the magnetism of Earth materials.

*(2) U.S. Student Fellowships*

This program provides financial and instrumental support for advanced U.S.
undergraduates and graduate students who seek to acquire state-of-the-art
rock magnetic and/or paleomagnetic data for an individual research project.
Special consideration is given to students requiring data for the
completion of a senior thesis or preliminary data for a proposal to support
continued graduate research. Visiting Students spend up to five days at the
IRM and work closely with IRM staff to: 1. Learn how to design and conduct
rock-magnetic experiments; 2. Process and interpret the generated data; and
3. Identify specific, attainable research goals that can be achieved with
future magnetic measurements. US Student Fellows are not charged facility
usage fees, and are eligible for reimbursement of travel costs up to a
maximum of $500.

*(3) U-Channel Fellowships*

The IRMs u-channel magnetometer system is available for use by visitors
with continuous cores (4.2-cm access diameter optimized for standard
u-channels) or discrete samples for paleomagnetic and basic rock-magnetic
or environmental-magnetic work. U-channel visitors may also request access
to a limited number of additional instruments for a few days, for more
detailed rock magnetic analyses on a small number of pilot samples. These
data may be used to explore the feasibility of returning to the IRM as a
Visiting Fellow with a targeted rock magnetic study. A usage fee of $100
per day (ten-day maximum) covers unlimited use of the u-channel system,
training and assistance with the equipment, and (if desired) some help with
data interpretation and analysis. A fee waiver may be granted in cases of
financial hardship, and proposals will not be evaluated on the basis of
ability to pay.

*(4) Magnetic Microscopy Fellowships*

Observations of micromagnetic structures in individual grains or measuring
magnetic moments at high spatial resolutions are useful for understanding
the origin of natural magnetic memory and its stability over geologic
timescales. With the installation of an Asylum Magnetic Force Microscope
(MFM) and Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM) we are pleased to offer a new
fellowship category. MFM offers spatial resolutions of a few tens of
nanometers for (sub)domain imaging, whereas QDM offers a range of
resolutions from millimeters to tens of micrometers for high-sensitivity
moment detection.

This fellowship offers specific access to, and expertise on, using one or
other of these instruments. Owing to the time consuming nature of the
measurements, this fellowship's focus is only magnetic microscopy on a
limited number of samples. Access to other instrumentation at the IRM is
limited as part of this fellowship.

*(5) Remote Access Fellowships*

To give the Earth Sciences community greater access to IRM instrumentation,
this fellowship allows researchers to submit proposals designed around IRM
staff conducting measurements on their behalf. The aim of fellowship is to
provide support to researchers with limited resources, limited (or no
funding) or an inability to travel. Preference will be given to graduate
students coming towards the conclusion of their studies and early career
post-docs.

As part of the application to the Remote Access Fellowship, applicants
should provide a rationale for how the fellowship would benefit their
research and help promote their careers.
