"Overview of NSF, Research Funding, Fellowships, & Post-Graduate Opportunities"
Abstract: An overview of the National Science Foundation (NSF) will be presented relative to other federal agencies, followed by funding opportunities at NSF and opportunities whereby NSF partners with international agencies. The synopsis of how engineering Core Programs (e.g., Fluid Dynamics) function relative to solicitations, such as the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) and Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) programs. Information will then focus on post-graduate opportunities, such as industry, government laboratories, small businesses, consulting, and university employment. Graduate student fellowship or internship opportunities will be highlighted with some recommendations on how to be successful. Finally, some closing comments will be made on how to succeed in your STEM career.
Bio: Dr. Joslin has been the Program Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Fluid Dynamics Program since 2016. He supports research in biofluids, micro-scale flows, transition & turbulence, non-Newtonian flows, geophysical fluids, renewable energy. Dr. Joslin supports hypersonic research in partnership with AFOSR, supports wind and ocean energy research with DoE/EERE, and supports research on the International Space Station with NASA/CASIS. In collaboration with the Executive Office of the President, Office of Science and Technology Policy, Dr. Joslin coChaired the interagency working group that developed the Low-Earth Orbit Research and Development Strategy policy and was the NSF representative on the working group that developed the Aeronautics R&D policy. Prior to NSF, Dr. Joslin was a Program Officer at the Office of Naval Research for 15 years where he managed Turbulence, Stratified Wakes, Submarine Maneuvering, Ocean Energy, MultiPlatform Interactions, and Supercavitation Programs. Prior to ONR, Dr. Joslin was on the faculty at Penn State for almost 2 years, and he led active and laminar flow control teams and conducted research at NASA Langley Research Center for 10 years. Dr. Joslin is the co-author of a Cambridge University Press textbook on hydrodynamic stability theory and co-editor of 2 AIAA books on circulation and modern flow control. He is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA and a Fellow of the ASME.
