Rowland Fellowship Accepting Applications Through August 16

Please share news of the latest application cycle for the Rowland Fellowship with your networks. Most importantly, we would appreciate direct encouragement of impressive candidates in your sphere to apply, particularly for talented scientists who may not apply without explicit prompting from a trusted mentor.

The Rowland Fellows program is open to scientists from a wide range of experimental fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and neuroscience. We are looking for individuals who have already demonstrated exceptional achievements in their fields and who are ready to begin independent research groups (including the hiring of small teams), take on new challenges, and push the boundaries of their fields.

One unique benefit of the Rowland Fellowship is the mentoring and support from highly experienced staff scientists and engineers who work with the Fellows to design and fabricate new experimental set-ups. Support is also provided from the core Rowland team to build expertise in budgeting, mentoring of lab members, grant writing and publishing.

The application deadline for the Rowland Fellows program is August 16, 2024. To qualify, applicants must have received, or expect to receive, their PhDs between May 2023 and Fall 2025. The selection process includes a symposium series of talks by finalists in November 2024, and final selections will be completed in December 2024.

Detailed information about the Rowland Institute, the Rowland Fellows program, and a link to the online application is available on our website at https://www.rowland.harvard.edu/fellowships/

Thank you for your help and support. Our goal is to ensure that the Rowland Fellows program attracts a broad diversity of candidates so that we can select and support the brightest researchers, and that we are able to foster the future of science.

Best Regards, Rosy Hosking, Ph. D. Director of Research Affairs, The Rowland Institute at Harvard
