Description
The Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science (KIC) Experimental Postdoctoral Fellowships support experimental researchers working in partnership with Cornell faculty sponsors. The program aims to attract outstanding researchers in nanoscale science and technology, offering significant independence and access to Cornell’s resources and faculty expertise.
Proposed research must align with the KIC mission and include a major component developing or using next-generation tools to create, characterize, or control nanoscale materials and systems. Selection emphasizes candidate qualifications and the quality, originality, and mission fit of the research. Fellows are expected to begin shortly after receiving their PhD. A KIC executive committee member helps oversee each fellow’s progress and integrate them into institute activities.
