Scholarships

ellowships support innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems, with emphasis placed on novel approaches that cross disciplinary boundaries, in laboratories in HFSP Member Countries. Fellowships are open to scientists from biophysics, physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics and nanoscience. Research should focus on new approaches for understanding the complex structures and regulatory networks that characterize the evolution and interactions of organisms and biological systems. Fellows may choose to stay for up to three years in the host country or use the last year of their fellowship to return to their home country or to move to another HFSPO member country. The fellowship offers support for three years.

Humanities Without Walls aims to create new avenues for collaborative research, teaching, and the production of scholarship in the humanities, forging and sustaining areas of inquiry that cannot be created or maintained without cross-institutional cooperation.

Brings together international groups of university students and recent graduates to explore national histories of discrimination and resistance, as well as examples of issues affecting different minority groups today

This one-month fellowship supports research using materials housed at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA, in the study of the North American West as both a frontier and a region. Recipients of the fellowship are expected to be in continuous residence at the Huntington for one month

Residential Fellowships support research at the Huntington in British and American history, literature, art history, and the history of science and medicine. Library collections range chronologically from the eleventh century to the present and include a half-million rare books, nearly six million manuscripts, 800,000 photographs, and a large ephemera collection, supported by a half-million reference works. Scholars are expected to be in continuous residence at the Huntington in San Marino, CA. The awards are for 9-12 months.

Fellowships support use of the collections for research in British and American history, literature, art history, and the history of science and medicine. Scholars are expected to be in continuous residence at the Huntington in San Marino, California. Fellowships are available for use of the general collection or specialized collections. Applying for one of these specialized Fellowships does not disqualify applicants from being considered for a  “general” Huntington Fellowship. Fellowships are for 1-5 months.

Fellowships support research in libraries or archives in Great Britain in any of the fields in which the Huntington collections are strong. The Huntington also offers exchange fellowships with Corpus Christi, Linacre, and Lincoln Colleges at Oxford, and with Trinity Hall at Cambridge. The fellowships offer support for one month.

Grants help fund research projects in a variety of disciplines that focus on natural systems of the Huyck Preserve in Rensselaerville, NY. They support work in basic and applied ecology, conservation biology, taxonomy, animal behavior, evolution, earth sciences, land use history, and other areas of natural science. The funds may be used for equipment, travel, room and board, station fees, publication costs, and stipend for assistant/student researchers.

Fellowships support research in the mathematical and computer sciences at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. Areas of research include: algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line); complex systems; data mining (machine learning, pattern recognition, computational statistics); dynamical systems; high-performance computing (scientific computing, parallel computing, big-data); inverse problems; numerical analysis; optimization (discrete, continuous, global and stochastic); operations research; probability theory (stochastic models, risk management, queues & queuing networks, simulation); and statistics (time-series, multivariate analysis, spatiotemporal analysis, design of experiments & reliability). The Fellowship offers support for one year and may be extended for a second year.

Fellowships supports PhD students who have an interest in solving problems that are important to IBM. Award recipients will be selected based on their overall potential for research excellence, the degree to which their technical interests align with those of IBM, and their progress to-date, as evidenced by publications and endorsements from their faculty advisor and department head. Specific focus areas include:

• AI/Cognitive Computing
• Blockchain
• Cloud Computing
• Core Technologies
• Data Science/Big Data/Analytics
• Internet of Things
• Quantum Computing
• Security
