The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) is pleased to announce the establishment of the SMART Postdoctoral Fellows Programme. These awards will provide a unique opportunity for recent Ph.D. graduates to participate in the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Centre in Singapore, and to become founding members of an alumni network that we anticipate will continue to evolve and expand over the years. The awards, to be given annually, are open to those with less than three years postdoctoral experience and provided they have received their doctoral degree by September 1, 2009.
In addition to a competitive salary, the award will provide both a research grant and a travel allowance. The fellowship recipient would be able to conduct research of his/her own choice in Singapore within, but not necessarily tied closely to, a current project in one of the three existing SMART Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs). It is anticipated that the recipients will take up their appointments at SMART by September 1, 2009 or earlier.
AWARD:
The awards provide an annual salary of up to S$85,000, a research grant of up to S$40,000, and a travel allowance of up to S$5,000.
