Stanford Science Fellows

The Stanford Science Fellows program invites applications from outstanding graduating doctoral students and early career postdoctoral scholars with a clear intellectual drive to advance foundational research in the natural sciences and a strong commitment to engage collaboratively with a diverse community of scholars. Fellows will have access to faculty and facilities within Stanford’s Schools of Humanities and Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, and Earth as well as at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Selection:  Approximately eight to ten new fellows will be chosen by faculty from departments and schools across the natural sciences at Stanford. An important selection criterion is the commitment to enhancing demographic and intellectual diversity in the scientific community.

Terms:  Stanford Science Fellow appointments will be for three-year terms. Fellows will receive an annual stipend of $83,000 per year, benefits, $8,000 per year in supplemental funds to support research and professional development, and a $2,000 relocation allowance. The program also includes community-building activities to foster professional development and leadership skills, as well as workshops, seminars, and informal discussions with Stanford faculty and visitors.
