IGMM Postdoc Careers event: Routes to Funding in Developing a Research Career

Personal fellowship awards can be an important step in the career development of early career scientists. This meeting is designed to provide information on some of the fellowships that are available, and what the funders are looking for.

Postdocs who are considering applying for a career fellowship in the near term, you are encouraged to attend.

You will hear perspectives from scientists serving on funding panels, tips from our own fellows on preparing your application and on the interview process, and information on what other support is available at IGMM and beyond.
