Description

The Bridging Excellence Postdoc Program is a joint postdoctoral program between EMBL and the Stanford University School of Medicine (SoM) and the School of Humanities & Sciences (H&S). Ambitious early stage scientists propose high-impact, creative collaborations between at least one lab from the Stanford SoM or H&S, and one lab from EMBL. By leveraging the opportunities at two leading institutions, fellows can gain valuable experience in two distinct research environments and develop a global profile. As well as access to researchers and technology at both sites, fellows can take advantage of the first-rate postdoctoral training opportunities from both institutions.Successful postdoctoral researchers will be awarded three-year fellowships from the EMBL | Stanford Life Science Alliance. Postdocs will be employed at EMBL for the duration of their fellowship and spend up to one year visiting their collaborators at Stanford University. The visits to Stanford can be distributed throughout the duration of the fellowship (i.e. multiple visits totaling up to 1 year are possible).
