US Endocrine Society’s International Scholars’ Programme

The Society is participating in this initiative again next year.

Aims

To identify promising young investigators and connect them with exceptional research positions at leading institutions outside their home countries.  The length of the scholarship is up to 3 years.

Is this for you?

Candidates can be basic or clinician researchers with at least 2 years and no more than 5 years research experience following PhD (or exceptionally, MD)  During the time spent as a scholar, the work will be predominantly basic laboratory research – any exposure to patients will be as observers.  Clinician researchers should have completed their clinical training.

Up to 2 scholars will be selected by the Awards Committee following review of the applications and interview.  Successful candidates attend the US Endocrine Society meeting and undergo a further interview process by the host institutions they have identified. 

Funding is provided by the Endocrine Society member’s laboratory at which the successful scholar is based.  During the first five years of the programme, salaries ranged from $30,000 to $48,000 per year.  2009 will be Year 7.
