HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024 Application

HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024

PhD students from all over the world who meet the eligibility criteria are invited to apply for the HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024. The 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.

The HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowships aims to support proposals for frontier, potentially transformative research in the life sciences. This PhD fellowship program is particularly for high-risk projects. The projects should be interdisciplinary and should challenge existing examples by using novel approaches and techniques that scientifically address an important problem or a barrier to progress in the field.

Below are the two available fellowships:

Long-Term Fellowships (LTF): This opportunity is for applicants with a PhD on a biological topic who want to embark on a novel and frontier project focusing on the life sciences.
Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF): This opportunity is for applicants who hold a doctoral degree from a non-biological discipline (e.g. physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, or computer sciences) and who have not worked in the life sciences before.

Fellowship Summary:

Fellowship Sponsor(s): Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP)

Host Institution(s): Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP)

Fellowship Worth: Fully Funded

Number of Slots: Several

Applicants must have a research doctorate (PhD) or a doctoral-level degree comparable to a PhD with equivalent experience in basic research (e.g. a research-based MD or medical PhD) must be conferred by the start of the fellowship.
Applicants must have at least one lead author publication by the submission deadline of the Letter of Intent which can be a manuscript (1) published in a recognized OA preprint repository, (2) accepted for publication, (3) in the press or (4) already published by a peer-reviewed journal.
