Life Science Research Foundation Postdoc Fellowship

Offered by Life Sciences Research Foundation

Since 1983, the Life Sciences Research Foundation (LSRF) has funded nearly 550 outstanding postdoctoral fellows in all areas of the life sciences, and raised more than $50 million from generous industries, foundations and individuals to support this effort. We believe that discoveries and application of innovations in biology for the public's good depends upon the training and support of the highest quality young scientists. Every year our selection committee of renowned scientists identify the top 5% of applicants from an international pool of more than 1000 postdoctoral applicants. Once chosen, the LSRF collaborates with current and potential sponsors to match them with fellows with similar research interests. In 2018, twenty-six of these remarkable young scientists were matched with sponsors to support their research. Yet even now many excellent scientists remain unfunded. LSRF offers a single type of award - a three-year postdoctoral fellowship. The current award amount is $62,000/year ($186,000 total). Of this, $52,000 is allocated for the fellow's salary/stipend and the remaining $10,000 is a research allowance for the fellow's use. Additional details outlining eligibility and fellowship guidelines may be found on the Application page.
