Three-Year Postdoctoral Fellowships

Postdoctoral fellows are immersed in the topics of the MBI's emphasis year programs. The MBI postdoctoral fellow will engage in an integrated program of tutorials, working seminars or journal clubs, participation in workshops, and interactions with local and visiting mentors. These activities are geared toward providing the tools to pursue an independent research program with an emphasis on collaborative research in the mathematical biosciences. MBI facilitated activities for postdoctoral fellows are tailored to the needs of each young scientist. The program provides training in bioscience fundamentals to the mathematically oriented fellow as well as mathematical fundamentals to the bioscience oriented fellow.

The postdoctoral program includes both regular postdoctoral fellows and sponsored postdoctoral fellows. You may apply to one or both.

Regular Postdoctoral Fellowships

Postdoctoral fellows participate in all aspects of the MBI's scientific programs. Fellows will have two mentors: one in the biological sciences and one in the mathematical sciences.

 

Sponsored Postdoctoral Fellowships

Sponsored Postdoctoral fellows participate in all aspects of the MBI's scientific programs. They are partially supported by a bioscience department or bioscience lab in the public or private sector and spend 50% time on research suggested by the sponsor. Fellows will have two mentors, the sponsor, and a mentor from the mathematical sciences. View list of current sponsors.
