Fellowship Resources
Finding a resource to finance the next career step is probably on many students’ minds. Why? Because money is in short supply and fellowship programs are very competitive. But there are other aspects that weigh heavily when young researchers attempt their next career move, such as support for family members, the host laboratory, identifying the best suited fellowship program etc. The HFSP Fellowship Primer provides a thorough introduction and advanced guidance at the transition from PhD student to postdoc. However nobody is perfect and therefore the document is very much a work in progress to which we invite your suggestions and comments for further improvement.
