AAA Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Application deadline: October 1st The AAA Postdoctoral Fellowship, established in 2008, offers salary support to AAA members who are postdoctoral fellows working in any aspect of biology relevant to the anatomical sciences. Either the postdoctoral applicant or the host sponsor (or both) must be a permanent resident of the US or Canada, however, fellowships can be used in any country. Applicants must have been AAA members for one year preceding the application deadline and are expected to remain members for the duration of the fellowship. Candidates should be working on a research project encompassing any aspect of biology that is relevant to the anatomical sciences. Approaches can include (but are not limited to) cellular, molecular, genetic or histological techniques, and/or emphasize development, evolution, morphology or human health.AAA Postdoctoral Fellowship recipients receive: • A $20,000 Fellowship • Travel reimbursement (up to $1,000) plus registration fee to present his/her work at the next appropriate AAA Annual Meeting.

Life Sciences Research FoundationPostdoctoral Fellowship ProgramThe LSRF solicits monies from industry, foundations and individuals to support postdoctoral fellowships in the life sciences. Active solicitation of funds continues, for which we need the assistance of all concerned individuals. We recognize that discoveries and the application of innovations in biology for the public's good will depend upon the training and support of the highest quality young scientists in the very best research environments. LSRF awards fellowships across the spectrum of the life sciences: biochemistry; cell, developmental, molecular, plant, structural, organismic population and evolutionary biology; endocrinology; immunology; microbiology; neurobiology; physiology; virology.
Fellowship Eligibility. Three-year fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis to graduates of medical and graduate schools in the biological sciences holding M.D., Ph.D., D.V.M. or D.D.S. degrees. Awards will be based solely on the quality of the individual applicant's previous accomplishments, and on the merit of the proposal for postdoctoral research. Persons doing a second postdoc are eligible only if they are transferring to a different supervisor's laboratory and embarking on a new project not connected to their previous research. All U.S. citizens are eligible to apply with no geographic restriction on the laboratory of their choice. Foreign applicants will be eligible for study in U.S. laboratories. LSRF fellows must carry out their research at nonprofit institutions. This fellowship cannot be used to support research that has any patent commitment or other kind of agreement with a commercial profit-making company. LSRF fellows can change projects, laboratories, and/or institutions during the fellowship as long as the eligibility rules listed here are not violated. A person holding a faculty appointment is not eligible to apply for an LSRF fellowship.
Stipends. The fellowship award is $51,000 per year and is meant to be a minigrant. LSRF keeps $1000 for administrative expenses and passes the rest to the fellow. The salary scale begins at $40,000 for a first-year postdoctoral, $42,500 for a second year, and $45,000 thereafter. The fellow, not the advisor, will control expenditure of the remainder. It can be used for fringe benefits, travel to the host institution, travel to visit the sponsor and to the LSRF annual meeting. However, its main purpose is to support the fellow's research expenses. The LSRF does not award an institutional allowance for overhead.NOTICE: The LSRF website is closed for applications. We will open for submissions on September 10, 2008. The application deadline is October 1, 2008. DEADLINE FOR SUPERVISOR AND REFERENCE LETTERS: NOVEMBER 1Questions and inquiries pertaining to the submission of applications should be sent to: Susan DiRenzo, Assistant DirectorEmail : sdirenzo@princeton.edu
Alfred Bader Award in Bioinorganic or Bioorganic Chemistry
Purpose: To recognize outstanding contributions to bioorganic or bioinorganic chemistry. Nature: The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate. Reasonable travel expenses to the meeting at which the award will be presented will be reimbursed. Eligibility: The award will be granted for outstanding research accomplishments without regard to age or nationality. The award is intended to recognize significant accomplishments that are at the interface between biology and organic or inorganic chemistry. Special consideration will be given to applications of the fundamental principles and experimental methodology of chemistry to areas of biological significance. Deadline: November 1 (annual review). Establishment & Support: The award was established in 1986 and is financed by a gift to the Society from Alfred R. Bader.
