You can apply now for the Bridging Excellence Postdoctoral Program. The Life Science Alliance is extending an invitation to researchers keen on establishing connections between two prominent research institutions, engaging in cutting-edge technology, and cultivating a global presence.
Bridging Excellence Postdoctoral Program 2024
This program supports postdoctoral fellows conducting collaborative research between EMBL and Stanford University School of Medicine (SoM) and/or the School of Humanities & Sciences (H&S). Applicants are encouraged to propose impactful and creative collaborations involving at least one lab from EMBL and one lab from Stanford SoM or H&S.
Leveraging the resources of these two leading institutions allows participants to gain valuable experience in two distinct research environments, fostering the development of a global profile.
Fellows can access researchers and technology at both sites, in addition to benefiting from top-notch postdoctoral training opportunities.

Eligibility
Bridging Excellence Fellowships welcome researchers of all nationalities, genders, and scientific backgrounds. Applicants should be prepared for international mobility and embrace the role of being an ambassador for transatlantic science.
