IIN Postdoctoral Fellowships
These prestigious awards support brilliant young scientists and engineers from institutions around the country as they conduct independent research under the mentorship of world-class nanoscience and nanotechnology researchers at the IIN.

Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens and have earned a doctoral degree within the past year, or expect to earn a doctoral degree within the next year. They must have demonstrated innovation, as well as outstanding achievement in their doctoral research, and possess independent research abilities and ambitious scientific goals. Applicants must not hold any position, paid or unpaid, with Northwestern throughout the nomination and award process.
IIN Postdoctoral Fellows receive a $75,000 stipend and travel funds to attend scholarly meetings.
