The Human Frontier Science Program,France
(ทุนปริญญาเอก)The Human Frontier Science Program offers fellowships for basic research training in the life sciences across national and scientific boundaries. Applications are invited for two international* postdoctoral programs supporting innovative, ground-breaking and risk-taking projects at the frontiers of life sciences and their interface with other fields of research. Proposals should demonstrate the fellow’s initiative and grantsmanship. HFSP fellows are expected to be exposed to new theory and methods during the tenure of their award while their previous expertise should be reflected in the research project. Applications from female candidates are encouraged.
Long-Term Fellowships are reserved for applicants with a Ph.D. in biology to embark on a new project in a different field of the life sciences. Preference is given to applicants who propose an original study in biology that marks a departure from their previous Ph.D. or postdoctoral work.
Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships are open to applicants with a Ph.D. from outside the life sciences e.g. in physics, chemistry, mathemat- ics, engineering or computer sciences and who have had limited research experience in biology during their previous training.
Fellowships are for three years and offer flexible use of funding in the final year. The start of the third year can be deferred for up to two years while being supported through other funds thus allowing extension of the training in the host laboratory. Third year funding can be used to return to the home country allowing the fellows to apply for the HFSP Career Development Award which provides a 3-year start-up grant of $100.000/year to help establish their first independent laboratory.
