The Alexander Hollaender Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships, sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Health and Environmental Research (OHER), support research in the fields of life, biomedical, and environmental sciences. Since the DOE Human Genome Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships and DOE Global Change Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships both had their last application cycles in FY 1995, the Hollaender program is now open to recent PhD graduates in the fields of human genome and global change, as well.
Fellowships of up to two years are tenable at any DOE, university, or private laboratory providing the proposed adviser at that laboratory receives at least $150,000 per year in support from OHER. Fellows earn stipends of $37,500 the first year and $40,500 the second. To be eligible, applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at the time of application, and must have received their doctoral degrees within two years of the earliest possible starting date, which is May 1 of the appointment year.
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), administrator of the fellowships, prepares and distributes program literature to universities and laboratories across the country, accepts applications, convenes a panel to make award recommendations, and issues stipend checks to fellows. The review panel identifies finalists from which DOE selects the award winners. Deadline for the FY 1997 fellowship cycle is January 15, 1997.
