How to Apply

Postdoctoral candidates are selected for the training program based on an assessment of their ability and potential, as evidenced by their previous achievements in research and letters of recommendation. All prospective candidates are screened by the trainee selection committee as positions become available.

Eligibility

  • MD candidates should have clinical training in pediatrics, neurology, neuropathology, or a related field.
  • PhD candidates should have completed their PhD in neuroscience or a related field and should have conducted neuroscience research.
  • We encourage applications from members of minority groups that are underrepresented in science careers.
  • All candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents (green card holders) at the time of application to be eligible for support from this training grant.

Application Materials

  • Competitions for open slots are typically held from November to January annually. However, eligible candidates are encouraged to reach out to Administrative Director, Kristen Pidgeon, to submit a CV and inquire about future openings.
  • Postdoctoral fellow appointments are for a period of up to three years. Reappointment is dependent upon appropriate progress, and it is expected that individuals will attempt to obtain individual National Research Service Awards or similar fellowships.
  • Proposed mentors must have demonstrated evidence of success in their independent careers including obtaining an NIH R01 or R01 equivalent, publishing independently, and successfully mentoring trainees.
  • Our next competition will open in November 2024 with applications due January 2025. All application materials should be sent directly to Kristen Pidgeon.
