Do you want to make your mark as a transatlantic scientist? Do you want to be mentored by researchers from two leading research institutions? The EMBL | Stanford Life Science Alliance invites researchers to submit an application to the Bridging Excellence Postdoctoral Program. The Life Science Alliance is an inter-institutional research initiative dedicated to advancing biomedical research. With a network of over 40 labs from across EMBL and Stanford University, we believe in working together to leverage our expertise and knowledge to drive high impact research. Our Bridging Excellence Fellowships support ambitious and creative joint projects, defined by postdoctoral applicants. The fellowships provide funding for a 3-year EMBL stipend, lab consumables, a generous travel and accommodation supplement for visits to Stanford, and funds for presenting at an international conference.
Your role
We invite all eligible researchers to submit a proposal describing a collaboration between at least one lab at EMBL and one faculty member from the Stanford University School of Medicine or the Stanford University School of Humanities and Sciences. This collaboration should build on the strengths of the partner laboratories, as well as the researchers own expertise. Fellowships will be awarded to researchers, who take up a position as a postdoctoral fellow at EMBL for 3 years. During this time, fellows will spend up to one year visiting their collaborators in Stanford to work on the joint research project (multiple visits totalling 1 year are permitted). As well as access to researchers and technology at both sites, fellows will also be able to take advantage of first-rate postdoctoral training opportunities from both institutions.
