The Center provides opportunities for outstanding young scientists at the postdoctoral stage to develop their independent research programs. In partnership with the university-wide John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellowship program, the Center recruits outstanding young scientists who have recently completed a doctorate to work as independent researchers not affiliated with an existing lab. These fellows receive funding to run a small, independent research group. Fellows have opportunities to interact with each other as well as other research fellows at Harvard, and are encouraged to teach small courses in their fields of expertise. In addition, each Fellow has the support of a mentoring committee consisting of Harvard faculty members. Learn more >>
