Davis Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program:

http://tmfnet.org/documents/Davis-Application-Guidelines-and-Instructions.pdf

Deadline: Thursday, April 2, 2009 (12:00 Noon Eastern Time)
Funding Period:
July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2012
Award: Up to 10 three-year awards to postdoctoral fellows working in non-profit
academic, medical and research institutions in the United States.

Application Guidelines

A three-year fellowship is being offered
instead of the standard two-year NIH
fellowships to attract a large number of
highly qualified scientists into the field.

Research Focus: Research areas of
interest include but are not limited to neural
pathways of feeding behavior in animal
models; molecular genetic analysis of
relevant neural circuit assembly and
function; testing of new chemical
compounds that might be used in animal
models as experimental treatments; and
brain imaging technologies that identify
neurochemical pathways in patients with
these disorders. Clinical psychotherapeutic
studies, medication trials and obesity
research are currently outside the scope of
this Program
