Predoctoral Research Fellowship Program
Our Predoctoral Fellowship Program provides one to three years of research experience and professional development training to individuals, typically those interested in pursuing a PhD. Fellows work with multiple core CIDER faculty to gain a breadth of skills and exposure to multiple research projects. Additionally, Fellows supplement their practical research with a catalog of professional development opportunities, including weekly seminars, technical trainings, conferences, audited coursework, and networking.
