APS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physiological Genomics
Sponsored By The American Physiological Society
Formerly known as the APS-Genentech Postdoctoral Fellowship, the APS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physiological Genomics has been established in recognition of the fact that many advances in genomics ultimately require a functional understanding in the context of the organism, and special training is needed to conduct this type of research.
Areas of Study: health science, life science
Open to Students from: any country
Average Award Amount: first year of $36,000, plus a trainee allowance of $3,500; and a second-year stipend of $38,000, plus a trainee allowance of $3,500
Award Duration: 2 years
Award Deadline: usually in January
Eligibility Requirements
The ideal candidate is one who has completed outstanding work in a top-flight graduate program (e.g., molecular biology, genetics, etc.) and who has the intention of employing organ system approaches during his/her postdoctoral training. Alternatively, a well-trained graduate in integrative physiology might wish to expand his/her work through the use of molecular biological tools and genomics. A central criterion of the postdoctoral project requires the scientist to use the tools of cellular and molecular biology in the setting of the whole animal. [Assays and/or analyses can be performed in vitro on material harvested from control and experimental animals, but material cannot solely be harvested and then exposed to the
control and experimental conditions in vitro.
A candidate for this program should identify a laboratory within the United States and a sponsor who is an APS Member in good standing under whose supervision a project in organ system physiology and molecular biology/genomics can be combined. The laboratory host/sponsor must be a member of the American Physiological Society, and it is anticipated that award recipients will join the Society. Adequate progress must be demonstrated by a written report submitted to the APS following the first
year before a second year stipend and trainee allowance can be awarded
