Since 1995, the Pickwick Postdoctoral Fellowship program has provided funds to enable young researchers to devote full-time professional effort to research related to the study of sleep or sleep disorders. The second year of support is dependent upon satisfactory progress in the first year. Pickwick Fellows are honored each year at an annual Pickwick event, sponsored jointly by the National Sleep Foundation, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the Sleep Research Society. Applicants for the Pickwick Postdoctoral Fellowship must conduct research in recognized American or Canadian programs of study or laboratories with strong mentorship in the appropriate area.
Fellowships are available for basic, applied or clinical research.
Minorities are encouraged to apply. Candidates must hold either an MD, DVM, PhD or DO degree in which the degree or subsequent training has been completed within the past five years. It is essential that there be evidence of aptitude for, and proficiency in, research. Recipients are supported for conducting research for a greater proportion of their time. Awardees will be notified by May 1, 2002.
