Wellcome-MIT collaboration launches interdisciplinary fellowships
8 May 2009
The Wellcome Trust-MIT Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme provides four years' support for recently qualified postdoctoral researchers to gain experience in research at the interface of biology/medicine and mathematics, engineering, or computer, physical or chemical sciences.
Fellows will tackle important biomedical research questions using an interdisciplinary approach in the best laboratories. The fellowships are based for two to three years at MIT in the USA, followed by the remaining one to two years in the UK.
Applications are encouraged from biomedical scientists with an interest in interdisciplinary research involving technologies and/or approaches that are not typically used in this area, or from candidates trained in disciplines outside the biomedical sciences who plan to apply their expertise to biomedical problems.

The deadline for full applications is 14 July 2009.
