Stanford Medicine Call for Applications: Bridging Excellence Postdoc Program
The Bridging Excellence Postdoc Program is a joint postdoctoral program between EMBL and the Stanford University School of Medicine (SoM) and the School of Humanities & Sciences (H&S). Ambitious early stage scientists propose high-impact, creative collaborations between at least one lab from the Stanford SoM or H&S, and one lab from EMBL. By leveraging the opportunities at two leading institutions, fellows can gain valuable experience in two distinct research environments and develop a global profile. As well as access to researchers and technology at both sites, fellows can take advantage of the first-rate postdoctoral training opportunities from both institutions.
The fellowship includes funding (up to €240,000 per fellowship) for:
- A standard 3 year EMBL stipend (including family allowances and social security benefits: more information here).
- A contribution towards lab consumables.
- A travel and accommodation supplement for visit(s) to Stanford.
- Funds for attending an international conference.
Eligibility:
- Bridging Excellence Fellowships are open to all researchers, regardless of nationality, gender, or scientific background.
- Postdocs who have held their PhD degree no more than 2 years before the application are eligible for a fellowship. Students who are currently pursuing their PhD are able to apply, provided you have been awarded your PhD before taking up the fellowship.
- Applicants must be prepared to be internationally mobile, be driven to create research synergies, conduct high-impact science, and be excited by the prospect of being an ambassador for transatlantic science.
- A note on eligibility for postdocs currently employed at EMBL or Stanford:
- Postdoctoral fellows and students who have been, or are currently employed at Stanford are able to apply provided they meet the eligibility requirements above.
- Postdoctoral fellows who have been, or are currently employed at EMBL are able to apply, provided that acceptance of a 3 year fellowship does not exceed the maximum limit of employment as a postdoctoral fellow at EMBL (5 years). Researchers who are currently completing, or have completed their PhD at EMBL are not eligible.
