Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Interdisciplinary Scholars Award

Wu Tsai Neuro's Interdisciplinary Scholar Awards provide funding to postdoctoral scientists at Stanford who are engaging in highly interdisciplinary research in the neurosciences broadly defined.

Selected scholars will receive two years of funding and a discretionary fund for travel to conferences and other research-related expenses. Scholars meet for monthly lunches to share ideas and discuss approaches to scientific and career challenges, visit each others' labs to learn about different research techniques and areas of study, and practice communicating their research to scientific and general audiences. Wu Tsai Neuro is also pleased to provide parental leave for its scholars. 

The Interdisciplinary Scholars program brings together cohorts of postdocs representing the broad range of demographic, experiential and scientific diversity. Women and postdocs from groups underrepresented in the neurosciences are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Wu Tsai Neuro supports innovative young researchers from basic and clinical neurosciences, biomedical sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, education, law, business and humanities who bring interdisciplinary approaches to advancing the neurosciences.

Applications are due on September 9, 2021 and the awardees will be announced in December 2021.
