Call for Applications: Education and Research Foundation for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Cassen Postdoctoral Mentoring Award

Call for Applications: Education and Research Foundation for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Cassen Postdoctoral Mentoring Award This grant provides funds for a junior scientist faculty member to recruit a post-doctoral to support research in the field of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. The grant is intended to provide these early-career scientists with mentoring experience, and the opportunity to develop preliminary data for federal or other competitive research support. The grant will provide support for the postdoctoral fellow to carry out the research under the supervision of the junior faculty member, with the assistance of a senior faculty member or principal investigator. Selection of a postdoctoral fellow from relevant disciplines outside Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging is encouraged but not required. Overall administrative and research guidance for the postdoctoral fellow is to be provided by a senior mentor in the same institution. ERF is currently accepting application for the Cassen Fellowship.  Application packages are due January 15, 2015.   The Postdoctoral Mentoring Award provides up to two years of research support. The amount of the award is $50,000 per year, payable to the applicant’s institution, which is to be used for salary support (including benefits) of the postdoctoral fellow. The award may be renewed for a second year, subject to ERF review and approval of first-year progress. ELIGIBILITY ...
