The Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) is organizing Postdoctoral
fellowships programme. These fellowships are open for the applicants from all
over the world.

The aim of the
fellowship is to encourage early career scientists to broaden their research
skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country.

The Human Frontier
Science Program (HFSP) is a program, based in Strasbourg, France, that funds
basic research in life sciences.

Long-Term
Fellowships (LTF) are for applicants with a Ph.D. in a biological
discipline, who will broaden their expertise by proposing a project in the

postdoctoral work.
Cross-Disciplinary
Fellowships (CDF) are for applicants with a Ph.D. from outside the
life sciences (e.g. in physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or
computer sciences), who have had limited exposure to biology during their
previous training.
