Postdoctoral Fellowships
Revised: April 2001

Postdoctoral Fellows in the Department are appointed by the Department of Molecular Biology, MGH, and by the Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School on an annual basis. Reappointments may be recommended annually up to a total tenure of three years at the discretion of the supervising faculty member. Reappointments for a fourth year are considered in extraordinary cases.
Applicants for Departmental Postdoctoral Fellowships are encouraged to seek outside funding prior to, or concurrent with, their application to the Department. On occasion, a sponsoring faculty member may accept a Fellow into the Department prior to receipt of outside (non-departmental) funding. In such cases, stipend levels are determined by the sponsoring faculty member and are ordinarily comparable to that of NIH Fellows with an equivalent number of years of postdoctoral research experience. Fellows appointed to the Department also receive full health insurance coverage.
