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.
Call for Nominations: The Faculty of Tropical Medicine can submit only one (1)Postdoctoral Fellowship Nomination. If there is more than one nomination, we must select the best one to forward to AXA. We are therefore now calling for nominations by members of the Faculty for Postdoctoral Fellows who meet the selection criteria.
