CPAESS - Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science

"Your staff did an exemplary job in all aspects of coordination. This meeting was one of the rare instances that I did not hear a single complaint regarding organization."

"I can't tell you all how great it is to work with you! I wish every meeting I planned had such fantastic (and fun) support."

"The C&GC program allows the flexibility to collaborate with other researchers, which leads to opportunities after the fellowship." 

"I think this is the most successful postdoc fellowship program out there."

"... JOSS (now CPAESS) brought a level of expertise and experience in planning these kinds of scientific investigators meetings that was superb."

"I have only good words to say about CPAESS. Everyone is prompt and courteous in helping. I really appreciate the policy from UCAR that allows postdocs to be co-PIs on grant proposals."

"The Summer Institute provided great presentations and an outstanding cohort of active and former fellows."

"I would like to thank CPAESS and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research for outstanding supporting of the 10th meeting of the International Committee on GNSS (ICG)."

"I really appreciate the great support you all provide. It sure makes hosting meetings a breeze."

"I only wish every administration was as responsive, proactive, and pleasant as the people I've interacted with at CPAESS."

"Postdoctoral fellows of the caliber supported by this program are of colossal value to the intellectual energy of any lab ..."

"They know exactly what they are doing and are therefore quite relaxed but at the same time in full control."

"The CPAESS administration has greatly facilitated my research work. I appreciate the superior service and timely help from all the staff."

"The fellowship program is valuable because it provides hosts an opportunity to work with excellent young scientists without a lot of administrative burden."

"...it’s just a pleasure to have a project where there is a target date, inevitable small hassles and changes, and yet the end result is that everything gets done, it’s perfectly workable, on time..."

"The UCAR VSP staff facilitated me taking some time away from my research in order to teach an undergraduate class for one semester."

"The C&GC fellowship experience has been very productive and rewarding. I have learned a lot in terms of research, teaching, & applying for faculty positions."
