COBRAS Feldman Fellowship
The Feldman Fellowship supports trainees at the undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral level (including medical residents and fellows) to perform sleep- or circadian-related research under supervision of a mentor. Feldman Fellowship Mentors must be COBRAS Members and Washington University faculty (any department/school) at Instructor or higher level. Preference will be given to research on neurodegenerative diseases, but any research with high potential impact on human diseases will be prioritized. Each Feldman Fellow must engage in full-time (40+ hrs/week) research activities for at least 8 weeks, or its equivalent (i.e., 320 hrs), and present data from the supported research at the subsequent COBRAS Symposium.
- Application deadline: Tuesday, April 15, 2024 11:59pm CST
