Applications are open for the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Global Science Scholars Program 2025. The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network (CZ Biohub Network) and the Stellar Science Foundation (SS-F) invite purposes for the Global Science Scholars program, an as much as two-yr worldwide postdoctoral fellowship program between the U.S. and Japan designed to advance excellence in bioengineering and biomedical analysis by supporting early-profession researchers to advance their careers and conduct groundbreaking science in U.S. and Japanese analysis labs.

There are two forms of fellowships:

• Global Science Scholars in residence in Japan: The postdoctoral fellowship is open to early profession candidates who’ve lately earned their doctoral diploma and want to conduct analysis actions at a Japanese analysis establishment with chosen analysis leaders. Candidates will need to have obtained their doctoral diploma on or after July 1, 2021. For placement in Japan, the applicant will need to have obtained their undergraduate or doctoral diploma from a U.S. diploma granting establishment, and eligibility for a Japanese visa is required. Funding for the Global Science Scholars in residence in Japan extends solely till March 2027, thus the length of help is as much as two years, relying on begin date.
• Global Science Scholars in residence within the U.S.: The postdoctoral fellowship is open to early-profession candidates who’ve lately earned their doctoral diploma and want to conduct analysis actions at a CZ Biohub Network companion college (in San Francisco, Chicago or New York areas) with chosen analysis leaders.
