Engaging the World

The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise who hold a PhD or equivalent in chemistry, computer science, economics, mathematics, molecular biology, neuroscience, ocean sciences, physics, or a related field. These two-year fellowships are awarded yearly to 126 researchers in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field. Fellows are selected on the basis of their independent research accomplishments, creativity, and potential to become leaders in the scientific community through their contributions to their field.

Eligibility: Candidates must be tenure-track, through untenured, as of the application deadline.
