The Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs Division will again be accepting nominations for the Schmidt Science Fellows program. Nominations are due by April 29th, 2024. UC San Diego will nominate up to 7 applicants to represent the university. The Schmidt Science Fellows program aims to develop the next generation of science leaders to transcend disciplines, advance discovery, and solve the world’s most pressing problems. Schmidt Science Fellows are expected to be future leaders and should demonstrate a keen interest in harnessing interdisciplinarity and interaction with wider society to accelerate discovery to achieve global impact. Fellows will be supported by the program to undertake a full-time, postdoctoral study for at least one year in a world-leading laboratory in a field different from their existing area of expertise.
The Schmidt Science Fellows Program will hold informational webinars about the program for interested candidates; dates/times and registration details in addition to general information about the Schmidt Science Fellows Program can be found on their website: https://schmidtsciencefellows.org/.
Have completed, or expect to complete, all of the requirements for the conferral of their PhD in one of these fields between 15 May 2024 and 30 June 2025.
