Postdoctoral Fellowship

About the Program

The Stanford Impact Labs (SIL) Postdoctoral Fellowship is a training and professional development program for postdoctoral scholars who are passionate about using research for public impact, motivated to engage with partner(s) outside of the university setting, and eager to join a cohort of other postdocs working in parallel to leverage their research expertise to tackle challenging social problems. Through the program, we aim to build a pipeline of scholars who are motivated and equipped to pursue academic careers focused on collaborative solutions-oriented research.

Stanford Impact Labs recruits postdocs to the program each fall by inviting applications from postdocs already employed at Stanford University interested in participating in the program cohort in that same academic year.

“I worried I was being too adventurous coming out of my PhD program, but this experience validated my interest in pursuing this type of research.”

“It’s inspiring to think about ways for my research to have impact, and I look forward to the ripple effects my experience in this program will have for my future students."
