The Stanford Science Fellows program is now accepting applications from outstanding graduating doctoral students and early-career postdoctoral scholars who are committed to advancing foundational research in the natural sciences, working across disciplines with exceptional scholars from around the world, and bringing diversity of thought and experience to the global community of scientists.

Stanford’s top-ranked science and engineering departments, as well as its many interdisciplinary laboratories and research institutes—all situated in close proximity on campus—provide an unparalleled range of opportunities for collaboration. To support their research, Stanford Science Fellows have access to faculty and facilities in Stanford’s Schools of Humanities and Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, and Sustainability as well as at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Approximately ten to twelve new fellows will be chosen by faculty from departments and schools across the natural sciences. An important selection criterion is the applicant’s commitment to enhancing demographic and intellectual diversity in Stanford’s scientific community.

Stanford Science Fellowships are awarded for a term of three years. Fellows will receive an annual stipend of $90,000, benefits including health insurance, $8,000 per year in supplemental funds to support research and professional development, and up to $2,500 in relocation expenses. The program includes community-building activities to foster professional development and leadership skills, as well as workshops, seminars, and informal discussions with Stanford faculty and visitors.

About Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences

Spurred by an innate sense of curiosity and wonder, humanity has plumbed the ocean depths, sent robotic emissaries to distant worlds, decoded the blueprint of life, and traced the atoms of our being to the swan songs of dying stars. Science has expanded and deepened our understanding of nature over enormous ranges in both space and time and in the process transformed how we perceive ourselves, our place in the cosmos, and our relationship to the Earth and its other living inhabitants. The beauty and complexity of the natural world inspires endless questions—many of which are being posed at Stanford. Rather than focusing on innovative inventions, foundational, curiosity-driven research is focused on advancing human knowledge about the natural world. These advances are critical for the future and often form the basis for shaping new technologies and developing solutions to society’s greatest challenges. 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 re...search institutes, are situated in close proximity on the same campus. We share faculty with the nearby SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a renowned laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy. Stanford has two natural laboratories for immersive field research: Hopkins Marine Station and Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. Successful Stanford Science Fellow applicants will be members of a broad academic community that also includes ethicists, economists, and poets who can help assess the moral, social, and artistic implications of scientific discoveries.
