Application Details: |
The LRF Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is designed to support postdoctoral scientists in non-profit academic, medical or research institutions throughout the world. The awards will support investigators who have recently received their doctorates, a critical point in career development when young scientists choose their lifelong research focus. Each applicant must be working under the supervision of an established investigator who is the designated Mentor. Two-year fellowships ranging from $39,500 to $47,500 per year will be awarded to fellows who have completed no more than three years of postdoctoral training by July 1st of the LRF funding cycle. The awards are issued in U.S. dollars.

The complete application process requires an
online submission as well as a mailed package containing Face Sheet with original signatures,
FIVE printed and stapled copies of the document uploaded online and two confidential letters of
recommendation.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM. |
