<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">The Stanford Science Fellows program is focused on incubating new directions in foundational scientific research by an interdisciplinary community of exceptional postdoctoral scholars from around the globe, driven by a sense of wonder about
the natural world.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goals of the Stanford Science Fellows program are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">To deepen our understanding of the natural world by advancing and bridging disciplines in the physical, mathematical, and life sciences.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">To provide opportunities for exceptionally qualified early-career scientists to develop academic leadership skills focused on fostering scientific discovery, developing interdisciplinary approaches to foundational
scientific research, and broadening science communication skills.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">To recognize and support scholars who bring a diversity of perspectives, identities, and backgrounds, including those from groups that are underrepresented in the sciences.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">To build community at Stanford around frontier research challenges.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stanford University offers a wide range of opportunities for scientists whose curiosity will drive foundational research forward and make them leaders in the academy. Stanford’s top-ranked science and engineering departments, as well as
many interdisciplinary laboratories and research institutes, are situated in close proximity on the same campus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stanford Science Fellows will have access to faculty and facilities within Stanford’s Schools of Humanities and Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, and Earth and at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The program will include community-building
activities to foster career development and leadership skills, as well as workshops, seminars, informal lunches and dinners, and discussions with Stanford faculty and visitors on current topics throughout the natural sciences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stanford Science Fellowships are intended for exceptional early-career scientists with great promise who have recently been awarded their PhD (within three years of starting the fellowship, but with no more than two years of prior postdoctoral
experience) or will be awarded their PhD by the start of the fellowship (between July 1 and September 1, 2020). Candidates should intend to pursue experimental and/or theoretical research and training in any natural science discipline. Fellows will hold primary
appointments in an academic unit in any participating school appropriate to their research interests.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Successful candidates will have a strong record of scientific achievement, clear intellectual drive to advance scientific understanding, and a commitment to engage collaboratively with a diverse community of scholars and transcend traditional
disciplinary boundaries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Candidates will be evaluated by a committee of Stanford faculty from departments across the natural sciences. Each applicant is encouraged to use their research statement to identify faculty members with whom they wish to collaborate. Each
fellow will participate in one or more faculty research groups. Members of the fellows selection committee will assist in establishing those relationships. The selection process includes interviews with the most promising candidates identified by review of
application materials.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The following materials are required for the application:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Curriculum Vitae (including publications, full legal name, contact information, and (expected) date of PhD, which must be received by the start of the fellowship.)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Three letters of recommendation; one letter from the candidate’s PhD advisor is advised.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">A statement (up to 2 pages) about the candidate’s career goals, relevant experience, and how the candidate would contribute to the goals of the Stanford Science Fellows Program<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">A research statement (up to 2 pages) addressing the following questions:<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2">What is the research problem?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2">What could be accomplished on a 3- to 5-year timescale?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2">How can Stanford enable these accomplishments?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applications are due by November 1, 2019. For more information, visit
