Funding Amounts: Up to $50,000 per year for up to 2 years; covers salary, fringe, and consumables.
Summary: Supports postdoctoral researchers with mentorship and resources to advance Angelman syndrome research and expand the global AS research community.
The FAST Postdoctoral Fellowship is designed to nurture the next generation of scientists focused on Angelman syndrome (AS) research. Offered by the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics (FAST), this fellowship provides postdoctoral researchers with financial support, mentorship from established investigators, and opportunities to develop expertise in AS. The program aims to expand the global network of AS investigators, especially at institutions currently lacking AS research representation, and to prepare fellows for future academic leadership roles. Fellows are expected to conduct research aligned with FAST’s mission and contribute to the advancement of scientific understanding and treatment of Angelman syndrome.
