Yale School of Medicine CMB Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for US citizens in China 2024-2025

We are pleased to announce a new program sponsored by the China Medical Board, which is accepting postdoctoral research fellowship applications from US scholars to work with outstanding partner institutions in the People’s Republic of China.

Background

The U.S. and China share an important modern history of global health dialogue and collaboration. Outcomes from such collaborations have not only helped strengthen national and transnational health outcomes in the form of shared knowledge and biomedical tools but have also served as an important means of promoting person-to-person and institution-to-institution relationships through research training. The CMB Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in China establishes a unique training program to support U.S. scholars in the biomedical sciences who seek outstanding mentored research training and the opportunity to build collaborative partnerships in China.

This program leverages longstanding partnerships at two world-class collaborating Chinese academic centers, and an established community of faculty and leadership dedicated to global health training at Yale—through the NIH Fogarty International Center-sponsored Global Health Equity Scholars Program, and the CMB Global Health Leadership Development Program—to deliver an unparalleled training experience.

We are also pleased to work with two U.S. partners institutions University of Michigan and University of North Carolina to implement and develop a strong collaborative community in the US that works together to ensure the success of the postdoctoral exchanges across all three sites.
