Designed for individuals who have recently obtained a PhD degree in neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, or other cognitive science discipline, the MindCORE Fellowship is a springboard for early researchers as they establish
their own research program. Fellows are expected to pursue collaborative relationships with faculty working across disciplines at Penn, including faculty in <a href="https://cni.upenn.edu/people" class="">computational neuroscience</a>. These collaborations
may take different forms from engaging in research projects with multiple faculty independently, to generating new collaborative research that brings multiple faculty together, to contributing to interdisciplinary discussion and reading groups. Find a list
of current and former MindCORE Fellows <a href="https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/" title="https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/" class="" style="color: blue;"><span class="" style="color: black;">here</span></a>. MindCORE awards ~2 postdoctoral Fellowships
per year. Positions may start as early as July 1, 2023.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Fellows receive a competitive salary, relocation allowance, health insurance, plus a $20,000 research budget. Fellows also benefit from access to the greater community of academics including visiting scholars plus leading research facilities equipped with cutting-edge
instrumentation all on an urban campus in a vibrant city. Fellows are invited to join regular working group meetings within their field plus career development workshops aimed at young researchers, and will be provided with a mentoring committee. Funding is
provided in one-year terms renewable for up to three years. This is campus-based (not remote) position.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
