NSF postdoctoral fellowships supporting early-career scientists who combine artificial intelligence with biological research and training to advance biotechnology innovation.

EMBL's ARISE2 programme offers more than 20 fully funded, three-year postdoctoral fellowships for scientists developing research-infrastructure technologies across the life sciences, including genomics, structural biology, imaging, cell and tissue research, environmental research, translation, and data science or artificial intelligence.

The Centre for Origin and Prevalence of Life invites applications for interdisciplinary research on the origins and prevalence of life. Up to one fellow will be selected for a 2027 start. Funding covers three years; a fourth year requires a successful midterm review and funding committed by the host professors. Fellows participate in the Centre and its research networks and may undertake agreed teaching duties. The deadline is 6 November 2026 at 17:00 Swiss local time. The online application requires a project proposal, CV, proof of thesis submission, a host invitation with financial commitment, and the specified ethics and conduct documents. Two external reference letters must arrive separately by the deadline.

Supports research-based graduate degrees with three funded years over a five-year fellowship: an annual $37,000 stipend plus a $16,000 institutional education allowance, subject to funding. Applications are open. The displayed deadline is the first subject deadline: Life Sciences on 19 October 2026. Computing, materials, psychology and social sciences are due 20 October; engineering 22 October; chemistry, geosciences, mathematics, physics and astronomy 23 October. All applications are due at 8 pm Eastern Time. Reference letters are due 16 October at 8 pm Eastern Time.

Wellcome Early-Career Awards enable researchers to develop an independent research identity through innovative projects that advance understanding of life, health and wellbeing. The November 2026 round is open for applications through the Wellcome Funding platform.
