  • Competitive fellowships such as HHMI, NIH F31/F32/K99, NSF GRFP/PRFB, Damon Runyon, Helen Hay Whitney, Jane Coffin Childs, Searle, Pew, Sloan, Packard, Simons, Fulbright, or equivalent.
  • Issued patents, spin-out companies, or grants where the contributor was a named PI or co-PI.
  • Currently or recently in an active research role: PhD candidate, postdoc, instructor, faculty, principal scientist, or industry researcher.

Compensation & Legal
