Human Frontier Science Program: Postdoctoral Fellowships

Eligibility: A research doctorate (Ph.D.) or a doctoral-level degree comparable to a Ph.D. with equivalent experience in basic research must have been conferred in the 3 years prior to the invited full proposal submission deadline. Applicants may be from any country and of any nationality. However, candidates cannot apply for a fellowship to work in the country of their nationality, regardless of whether they have obtained their Ph.D. degree in this or another country.

Deadline Month: May (LOI); September (full proposal, if invited)

Description: HFSP postdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country. Long-Term Fellowships (LTF) are for applicants with a Ph.D. in a biological discipline, who will broaden their expertise by proposing a project in the life sciences which is significantly different from their previous Ph.D. or postdoctoral work. Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF) are for applicants with a Ph.D. from outside the life sciences (e.g. in physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences), who have not worked in the life sciences before. Both fellowships provide 3 years of salary and research/travel allowance.
