2030STEM x BWF Fellowship
2030STEM x BWF Fellowship
2030STEM in partnership with Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) is building a new, catalytic resource to advance the careers of early to mid-career STEM researchers and professionals.
To do this, we are looking for 5 STEM professionals to serve as the inaugural 2030STEM x BWF Fellows. Fellows will be awarded $10,000 to be used towards advancing their career. The funds are non-discretionary and can be used for any career development need including (but not limited to) travel to conferences, research expenses, childcare, etc. Selected candidates will have a strong history of building community, translating knowledge, and innovative leadership in STEM.
People drive science innovation, and 2030STEM’s mission is to support those people. 2030STEM x BWF fellows will reinvent career advancement for individual STEM professionals, and strengthen and accelerate culture change in STEM institutions. It is imperative that we build a STEM ecosystem that recognizes, supports, and champions the success of scientists from a myriad of backgrounds.
Eligibility
Eligible candidates must be a late-stage Ph.D. candidate or possess a PhD or graduate equivalent (JD or MD). Candidates should be early to mid-career from across STEM sectors e.g. academia, industry, business/finance, and government) All STEM disciplines are welcome to apply. Only US based professionals will be considered.
What the award contains
2030STEM x BWF Fellows will be selected for a 2-year term. Fellows will be awarded $10,000 to be used towards advancing their career and will participate in quarterly cohort meetings, career development workshops in year 1. In year 2, fellows will have access to the 2030STEM Champion’s network where they can select a mentor to work with for the remainder of the fellowship period. Selected mentors will be awarded $5,000. The initial 5 awardees will be an inaugural cohort with opportunities and pathways to access capital and evaluate the impact of the Champions-Fellows Dyad. The Champions and Fellows Network is modeled on theories of collective impact that demonstrate how an interdependent web of relationships from different sectors and institutions may achieve a common objective.
