Institute for Basic Science (IBS) Young Scientist Fellowship 2020 (Funding available): (Deadline 13 December 2020)
Applications for the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) Young Scientist Fellowship 2020 are now open. The IBS Young Scientist Fellowship started in 2016 to play an active role in fostering the next generation of basic science leaders. They believe this Fellowship offers junior scientists opportunities to conduct independent research by utilizing state-of-the-art infrastructure and to grow on the basis of research collaborations with leading researchers.
With the vision of “Making Discoveries for Humanity and Society,” the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) was founded in 2011 by the Korean government to promote basic science in Korea. To date, IBS has 31 Research Centers and each Center has been yielding outstanding results in various research fields. They hope that the Fellowship serves as a stepping stone for their researchers to mature into leading researchers in basic science.
