About this position
The Fellows to Faculty Award is a two-phase career-transition award from the Simons Foundation for early-career scientists moving from postdoctoral research into tenure-track or equivalent faculty roles. It is designed to support researchers working in the foundation’s SFARI and SCPAB research areas.
The award begins with a postdoctoral phase that provides salary support and career-development resources, then continues into a faculty phase with a research grant to help establish an independent program after the recipient secures a faculty position. The scheme is aimed at strengthening the transition from postdoctoral training to independent academic leadership.
This is an annual funding opportunity intended for talented researchers whose work fits the foundation’s research priorities and who are ready to move into faculty-level research environments.
