Postdoctoral Fellowships

Postdoctoral research fellowships at NIEHS may be funded for up to five years, and funding opportunities depend on the research area, citizenship, experience and previous training. Visa assistance is available for international applications. In addition to their scientific training, postdoctoral fellows at NIEHS have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of professional and career development activities.

NIEHS Medical Student Research Fellowships - The NIEHS Medical Student Research Fellowship is a one-year program that allows medical students to participate in laboratory, epidemiological or clinical research related to environmental health issues.
