Description
Caltech established the Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows program in 2016 to support an inclusive postdoctoral community. Fellows receive stipend support, mentoring, and services that build community and foster professional development. The program builds on the California Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP), a partnership among Caltech, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Stanford University.
Applicants can pursue an Open Call route without an existing Caltech faculty offer or apply for a Specific Position already offered by a Caltech faculty member. Alongside proposed research, applications address past service and future plans to increase access to STEM and make STEM learning and research environments more welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
