Endowed by the Starr Foundation, the CV Starr Fellowship program supports postdoctoral positions for neuroscientists with exceptional skills and potential. The CV Starr Fellows Program encourages collaboration across fields, new perspectives and novel approaches, and promotes the Institute as an international center of excellence. Fellows are expected to pursue their research with the guidance and mentorship of one or more core faculty members in the Institute. Work at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute spans from molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches to systems and human cognitive neuroscience, and houses state of the art facilities for experimental research in all of these areas, as well as advanced computational resources that support theoretical and quantitative approaches to neuroscience.

Candidates should apply online. We encourage applicants to reach out to their prospective PNI faculty mentor(s) to gauge interest and discuss their research proposal prior to applying.

Each year, PNI recruits exceptional individuals for our CV Starr Fellowship in Neuroscience.
