Post-doctoral Fellowship Opportunity

AXA Research Fund

 Do you need a high-quality, funded, Post-doctoral Research Fellow in your Department or Center?

Objective: The AXA Research Fund encourages scientific research that would contribute to understanding and preventing environmental, life, and socio-economic risks. The Fund supports world class research in these areas by providing institutions with the means of attracting and retaining the leading scientists of today and of the next generation. The Fund seeks to support innovative and cutting-edge transdisciplinary projects; particularly as such projects may encounter difficulties in gaining support elsewhere.
