Bridging Excellence Postdoctoral Fellowship Program 2024

About Bridging Excellence Postdoctoral Fellowship Program 2024

The Bridging Excellence Postdoc Program supports postdoctoral fellows who conduct joint research between theย EMBLย and theย Stanford University School of Medicine (SoM)ย and/or theย School of Humanities & Sciences (H&S). You will propose a high-impact, creative collaboration between at least one lab from EMBL and one lab from Stanford SoM or H&S.

By leveraging the opportunities at two leading institutions, you 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.

Program Details

Successful postdoctoral researchers will be awardedย three-year fellowshipsย from the EMBL | Stanford Life Science Alliance. Postdocs can choose either EMBL or Stanford University as their host institution (i.e. the institution you would be appointed as a fellow for three years). During these three years, fellows spend up to one year visiting their collaborators the partner institution. The visits to the partner institute can be distributed throughout the duration of the fellowship (i.e. multiple visits totaling up to 1 year are possible depending on visa conditions).

The fellowship includes funding for:

  • A standardย 3 year EMBL/Stanford postdoc stipendย (including family and social security benefits).
  • A contribution towardsย lab consumablesย (up to EUR/$ 25,000)
  • Aย travel and accommodation supplementย for visit(s) to the partner institution (up to EUR/$ 25,000).
  • Funds for attending anย international conferenceย (up to EUR/$ 2,000).

Eligibility

Bridging Excellence Fellowships are open to all researchers, regardless of nationality, gender, or scientific background.ย Applicants should be prepared to be internationally mobile and be excited by the prospect of being an ambassador for transatlantic science.

Applicants must haveย completed their PhD in the 2 years prior to taking up the fellowship. Students who are currently pursuing their PhD are able to apply, provided they have been awarded their PhD before taking up the fellowship.

A note on eligibility for students & postdocs currently employed at EMBL or Stanford:

Fellows who are currently or have previously been employed at EMBL/Stanford are able to apply, provided an additional 3-year fellowship does not exceed the maximum limit of employment as a postdoctoral fellow (5 years).
