The period between receiving a Ph.D. and beginning a well-defined career
track often is the most fruitful time in the creative life of a scientist.
Providing scholars freedom to devote this period of time to research,
unencumbered by other duties, has been the essence of The Krasnow Institute's
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Scientists in many disciplines often
recall their postdoctoral research as most productive.
One of the goals of The Krasnow Institute is to maintain a cohort of
Postdoctoral Fellows chosen from among the leaders of graduating Ph.D.
recipients throughout the world. The Krasnow Scientific Advisory Board
is a major source for establishing a network among leading graduate programs,
young scientists, and The Krasnow Institute's Postdoctoral Fellowship
Program. These new scientists are given freedom to explore and expand
their creative thought processes and research techniques, while working
for mentors at The Krasnow Institute. They remain at the Institute for
one, two, or three years developing strong research programs, collaborations
with other scientists, and a worldwide network of associations.
The Krasnow Institute's interest lies in encouraging dialog among investigators
in diverse disciplines enabling them to develop more fully those areas
of overlap, where new ideas often arise. Although current funding limits
the number of postdoctoral participants, it is hoped that the new facilities
together with increased resources will result in a fully implemented program
involving twelve postdoctoral fellows.
