Description
The American Epilepsy Society (AES) Postdoctoral Research Fellowships support postdoctoral trainees investigating the causes, treatment, and consequences of epilepsy. The program welcomes proposals across basic, translational, and clinical epilepsy research, with fellows working under the guidance of a mentor with expertise in the field.
The fellowships are part of AES’s early-career funding program, which supports the next generation of epilepsy investigators across the spectrum of epilepsies, seizures, and related conditions. Through this broader program, AES aims to help emerging researchers pursue innovative ideas and develop the preliminary data, publications, and momentum needed to compete for larger funding opportunities.
