The James S. McDonnell Foundation (JSMF) has posted updated guidelines for the 2019 Postdoctoral Fellowship Award program in Understanding Dynamic and Multi-scale Systems.

The JSMF Fellowship is a unique opportunity for students with an interest in and an aptitude for complexity science who are in the final stages of completing their Ph.D. and looking to make a significant change in direction for their first postdoctoral fellowship (field of study, model organism, theory vs experimental, etc.) that will either be difficult or impossible without an external source of funding. Students should anticipate activating the Fellowship between June 2020 and February 28, 2021.

This Fellowship is not intended for individuals that already have completed a Ph.D. or students that have already identified a postdoctoral position and a postdoctoral mentor as traditional funding mechanisms are better suited to these students. Such applications are ineligible for consideration.

The total amount of the JSMF Fellowship is $200,000 USD to be expended in no less than 2 and no more than 3 years. Typically JSMF can support up to 10 Fellowships each year. The deadline to apply is June 13, 2019 15:59 CDT (20:59 UTC).
