The Wellcome Trust-MIT Postdoctoral Fellowships will provide 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 biomedical research questions using an interdisciplinary approach in the best laboratories. The fellowships are based for two to three years at MIT in the US, with the remaining one to two years spent 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.
