- VORTEX
- Vortex Fellows
More Information: Vertex Fellows Program
Application deadline: January 14, 2022
Brief description: The Vertex Fellows program is a unique, one-year opportunity for outstanding early career scientists and physicians to join Vertex project teams and help advance real drug discovery programs. In addition to hands-on experience, Fellows receive training on the drug discovery process, mentorship from senior leaders and exposure to many different business areas. The program is designed to augment, rather than replace, a traditional postdoctoral, residency or business school experience. David Altshuler, Executive Vice President, Global Research and Chief Scientific Officer, directs the program in collaboration with many leaders across the company. - NRC Postdoc Fellowships in the NIST Polymers Processing Group
Group Background: Our polymers processing group tackles scientific and measurement challenges in flexible & printed electronics, additive manufacturing (3D printing), rheology, self-assembled materials, and nanoscale structure measurement. We have a diverse array of soft materials structure measurement tools and computational resources. Our group is also a heavy user of synchrotron and neutron facilities. We have a special project focused on resonant soft X-ray scattering. Multiple advisors are available to match different interests. Alums of our group have found permanent follow-on employment as university PIs, industry researchers, and permanent staff at government labs (NIST, and others).- Our RSoXS Program
