Pew Fellows Award to Pursue Postdoctoral Training in the U.S.

The Pew Latin American Fellows Program in the Biomedical Sciences provides support for young scientists from Latin America to receive postdoctoral training in leading laboratories in the United States. The program gives these individuals an opportunity to further their scientific knowledge, promote exchange and collaboration between investigators in the United States and Latin America, and advance biomedical research in Latin America.

Details of the Award

• Ten Pew Latin American Fellows will be selected in 2014.
• A grant of $60,000 will be provided by The Pew Charitable Trusts to the sponsoring U.S. institution to supplement the fellow’s postdoctoral salary.
• After completion of the fellowship, and upon confirmation of the fellow’s plans to return to Latin America, Pew will issue an additional payment of $35,000 to the sponsoring institution for the purchase of supplies and equipment to help establish the fellow’s independent laboratory in Latin America.

Requirements

• Applicants must have been awarded a Ph.D. or M.D. degree by February 1, 2014, but no earlier than July 1, 2009.
• Preference will be given to applicants who received their undergraduate and graduate degrees from institutions in Latin America. Applicants may have obtained their undergraduate or graduate degrees from schools outside Latin America but preferably not in the United States.
• Applicants with more than 18 months of postdoctoral training in the United States before July 1, 2014, are not eligible.
• Applicants are required to submit a written statement of intent to return to Latin America.
• Applicants will not be considered if they have completed graduate work with a
proposed sponsor.

The application process opens July 15, 2013.

To Apply
• Potential candidates must identify and obtain a commitment from the head of a laboratory in the United States for a postdoctoral position. All applicants should contact their regional committees before contacting the Pew Fellows program office.
• Once sponsors are identified, potential candidates must send an email to Anita Pepper, director, at apepper@pewtrusts.org to request access to the online application on or after July 15, 2013.

The application deadline is October 1, 2013.
Fellowship grants will begin in August 2014.
