The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected academic institutions to support the independent research of outstanding individuals who are in the first or second year of their appointment at the assistant professor level, and whose current appointment is a tenure-track position.
Applicants for year 2010 awards will be expected to be pursuing independent research careers in biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and related areas in chemistry, medicine, and the biological sciences.
Candidates should have begun their first appointment at the assistant professor level on or after July 1, 2008 and therefore be in their first or second year. This appointment must be a tenure-track position, and must be in an academic department of the University of Georgia.
