The Simons Postdoctoral Fellowships in Marine Microbial Ecology support early-career researchers pursuing postdoctoral studies in marine microbial ecology. This fellowship is designed for individuals with a doctoral degree who aim to explore fundamental questions about the role of microorganisms in ocean processes. The program encourages applicants from diverse scientific backgrounds, including those with experience in modeling or theoretical approaches, to apply their expertise to marine microbial research.

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree in a relevant field such as biology, ecology, oceanography, or computational sciences. The fellowship is open to candidates from any nationality. There are no specific marks or income criteria, but applicants should demonstrate a strong research background in marine microbial ecology or related disciplines.

Interested candidates should prepare a research proposal aligned with the fellowship’s goals. Submit the application along with academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a CV through the official Simons Foundation portal. Ensure all documents are complete before the deadline. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
