Dear Friends,
Humblest apologies for the mass
emailing, and please let us know if you'd prefer not
to receive these emails in the future.
We are looking for John Harvard
Distinguished Science Fellows in the life sciences,
who will be appointed for an initial three years and
will form a small community of exciting young
scientists both by interacting with each other and
with their counterparts in the life sciences. If
you're a physical scientist, you're getting this email
because you might have run into someone in the life
sciences who seems appropriate for this fellowship or
know colleagues in the life sciences who you could
pass this request on to.
Briefly,
i) we are looking for extremely bright
and creative young scientists from
across the full breadth of the life
sciences, including those with training in theory and computation,
ii) we will
give the successful applicant the space,
facilities, and money
to run a three-person research
group for five years,
iii) each Fellow will have
a formal affiliation with and
participate in the intellectual
life of one of the life
science departments,
v) the Fellow will be intensely
mentored by participating in a weekly communal lab
meeting, meeting me monthly, having their paper drafts and
grant applications read and critiqued, and meeting
with a three person mentoring committee twice a
year, and
The application deadline is 11:59pm EST, on Thursday,
February 28, 2019.
Many, many thanks,
Andrew
Information about the Fellows
Program
The John Harvard Distinguished Science
Fellow’s program is an initiative in Faculty of Arts
and Sciences to recruit bright young scientists to
work as independent researchers at Harvard. There are
separate searches for Fellows in the physical and life
sciences, but the Fellows appointed by these searches
form a single intellectual community.
The life science Fellows are young,
independent researchers usually straight out of their
PhD who are appointed initially for three years, and
carries an expectation of extension by a further two
years. Each fellow has the support of a mentoring
committee comprising of three faculty who are
interested in the fellow's area of research. As
fellows move on to faculty positions, we replace them
with new fellows; this year we are looking to hire one
new fellow. Because we strongly believe that solving
exciting problems will require combining different
approaches, we are particularly interested in
recruiting fellows with broad scientific interests and
a taste for collaboration.
We strongly encourage applications
from women and minority candidates. A description of
the Fellow program, and information about the
application procedure, is available on our website at:
