Application Details

  • Transcript:
    Not required
  • Resume/Activity List:
    Not required
  • Recommendation Letters:
    ou should request letters from individuals who can best evaluate your scientific accomplishments and your potential for successfully completing postdoctoral training. It is generally expected that you will request a letter from your dissertation advisor. It would make sense for the letters to be tailored for the position you are seeking. It is likely that the principal investigator (PI) will be looking for someone who is motivated, responsible, capable, bright, and creative and who works well with others. Also, some people just have "good hands" - i.e., their experiments always work. Your letters of recommendation need to convince the PI that you are just such a highly capable person. A good way for your references to do this is to include stories or descriptions of incidents that demonstrate both that you possess desirable qualities and that they know you well.
  • Other Materials:
    Visiting Fellows are assisted in obtaining J-1 Visas. This is typically the only option because Visiting Fellows are officially trainees and not employees. A J-1 Visa does not qualify a Visiting Fellow to apply for permanent residency. You will be asked to submit a copy of your birth certificate, passport, and/or alien registration card once you are selected for a position.
