Aim: The origin of life is among the great unsolved scientific problems of our age. To advance our knowledge of the processes that led to the emergence of life, the Simons Foundation established the Simons Collaboration on the Origins of Life (SCOL). The collaboration supports creative, innovative research on topics such as the astrophysical and planetary context of the origins of life, the development of prebiotic chemistry, the assembly of the first cells, the advent of Darwinian evolution and the earliest signs of life on the young Earth.
The collaboration is now inviting applications for postdoctoral fellowships to support independent research on topics related to the origins of life at one or more laboratories or research institutions in any country.
Duration: 3 years
Funding: USD $ 92’000 per year
Support for stipend, health insurance, and research costs
Eligibility: Candidates must have received their Ph.D. or equivalent degree within five years of the fellowship’s start date. There are no citizenship or country requirements.
How to Apply: Fellowships are awarded through a two-stage process. In the first phase, applicants submit a first-stage proposal via proposalCENTRAL. First-stage proposals should include a PI letter of support, letters of recommendation, PI and applicant biosketches, and a two-page narrative describing the proposed research. First-stage finalists will be notified by early November, and must submit a second-stage proposal by early December.
Application Deadline: First-stage: 11-Sep-2018 (5:00 PM EDT, 23h00 CET)
Second-stage: 04-Dec-2018
