Arc Science Fellows Program
The Arc Science Fellows program is designed for outstanding early career scientists who are seeking an opportunity to transition to a principal investigator position directly after their doctoral training. To accelerate independent careers, this program provides Arc Fellows with leadership training and full salary and research support for their group.
Appointment
Arc Science Fellows are appointed for a five-year term at Arc, with a formal check-in after three years, and are employed by the Institute. Science Fellows will be independent group leaders who pursue research agendas with a combination of innovative technologies, originality, and risk that are unlikely to be supported by traditional funding sources.
Eligibility
This program is targeted to individuals who have completed their graduate training (e.g., PhD, MD, MD/PhD) within the last two years. Individuals who are authorized to work in the US as well as those who require visa sponsorship are eligible.
Scientific Focus Areas
The focus areas for our initial search were Neurobiology, Immunology, Computational Science, Human Genetics, Chemical Biology, and Technology Development. Scientific focus areas may change for future calls for applications.
