Beckman Fellowships
The Beckman Research Fellows Program is a competitive program made available to postdoctoral fellows doing independent research under the auspices of a Stanford faculty member with relevant expertise. Awardees are expected to be capable of independent work and competitive for the most prestigious academic or other positions on completion of their fellowship.
