Autism Speaks Invites Applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Translational Research
Autism Speaks Invites Applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Translational Research
Autism Speaks has announced the third year of its postdoctoral fellowships in translational research. The program supports promising and well-qualified postdoctoral scientists pursuing training in translational research of autism spectrum disorders.
Successful applicants will have a project that bridges basic laboratory research and behavioral or biomedical clinical research, and a training plan that includes mentoring in both basic and clinical research environments.
Applications are invited from individuals conducting preclinical or clinical research at U.S. or non-U.S. nonprofit or for-profit institutions, including but not limited to colleges, universities, hospitals, governmental entities, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Candidates must hold an M.D., Ph.D., or equivalent terminal degree, and cannot have more than five years of postdoctoral experience at the commencement of the award.
The number of fellowships awarded will be determined by available financial resources and the fit of the proposed research within the Autism Speaks portfolio. Each award will be for a period of two years and will include a competitive stipend as well as a $10,000 annual allowance for professional conference travel, research costs and supplies, and/or fringe benefits. The stipend level will be determined by the number of years of postdoctoral experience at the time of the award.
The complete Request for Applications and application requirements are available at the Autism Speaks Web site.
