Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply for a postdoctoral fellowship?

Postdoctoral fellowships generally require a completed PhD, although providers may set limits based on years since graduation, research field, nationality or career stage. Check the exact eligibility window and whether the PhD must be completed before the application deadline.

Are postdoctoral fellowships the same as scholarships?

Not always. A postdoctoral opportunity may be a fellowship, employment contract, research grant or mobility award. Funding, taxes, benefits and host responsibilities can therefore differ significantly. Read the provider's official terms rather than treating every postdoctoral award as a student scholarship.
