Attention postdocs: start your career with a Gilbreth Fellowship!
The Gilbreth Postdoctoral Fellowships at Purdue Engineering will pay promising postdoc researchers $70,000 a year to conduct groundbreaking research at Purdue.
Named after groundbreaking industrial engineer Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, this two-year program is designed to attract recent PhD graduates who conduct interdisciplinary research that moves the world forward. Mechanical Engineers are well represented, as the last two recipients have worked on ME projects.
Deadline to apply for the 2022 cohort is October 31, 2021.
