The individual research laboratories offer post-doctoral fellowships.
Typical fellowships are for a minimum of two years.
During this time the trainees undertake a major research project under the guidance of the Prinicipal Investigator of the laboratory. As part of this prcess the fellows learn in depth the field taht they are researching. They are taught how to carry out a successful research program. This includes the teaching of methodology, and how to formulate hypotheses, design well-controlled experiments and critically evaluate results. Fellows are taught how to write scientific talks and will present their results in seminars to their colleagues.
