Requirement of Post Doc Fellow at MIT

MIT Post doctoral Scholarship Announcement

This scheme offers opportunities for postdoctoral scientists to undertake research at the interfaces between biology/medicine and mathematics, engineering, computer, physical or chemical sciences, firstly at MIT and then at a UK institution.

Candidates will be expected to identify an important biomedical research question and to propose a personal interdisciplinary training programme to achieve their research aims.

The aim is to support those who will train in a new research area that is complementary to, but distinct from, their current field of expertise, to enable an interdisciplinary approach to their research question - e.g. you might be a physicist wanting to work on a biology-based programme, or a biologist wanting to undertake a bio-engineering project.

Eligibility:

These awards are open to individuals with a relevant connection to the European Economic Area.

If you have already spent a year or more training or working in an academic or research institution in the United States, you are not eligible to apply to this scheme.

You should be about to submit your doctoral thesis or have up to, but no more than, three years’ postdoctoral experience from date of your PhD viva to the deadline for applications to the scheme.

Time spent outside the research environment will be taken into consideration.

You may have a background in any appropriate field of study (e.g. biology or medicine or chemistry or physics) but you must propose to address an important biomedical research question.

The proposed research should fall within the Wellcome Trust's normal funding remit.
