For many research trainees, writing an individual fellowship application will be their first experience with the highly competitive scientific funding system. In this webinar, Fellowsherpa explores the basic aspects of the fellowship application process to enhance the chances of success of PhD students and early postdocs. The webinar will briefly cover all stages of the process: choosing and approaching their host laboratory, identifying the appropriate fellowship program and writing their application. In addition to discussing with the participants how to introduce themselves and their research projects, the webinar will also cover formal aspects of the application (eligibility, documentation, formatting) and often-neglected fellowship call instructions that can make the difference between acceptance and rejection.

The webinar will be led by David del Álamo and Thiago Carvalho from Fellowsherpa, who bring extensive experience in international fellowship programmes, graduate education, scientific publishing, and research training.

Who should attend:

• Senior PhD students — in the last 2 or 3 years of their PhD and who may be applying for a postdoctoral fellowship within the next 2 or 3 years
• Junior postdoctoral researchers — within the first 2 years after completing their PhD and who may be applying for a fellowship soon (just joined the postdoc lab and is looking for funding or plans to move to a different place after a short postdoc)
