TENTATIVE Posting - this notice will be updated once the
Sloan Foundation releases the call for 2026 applications. (Applications for
2025 Sloan Applications for 2026 Sloan Research Fellowships will open on July
15, 2025.)

The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate
fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding
promise. These fellowships are awarded yearly to researchers in recognition of
distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial
contributions to their field.

The Sloan Research Fellowship Program recognizes and
rewards outstanding early-career faculty who have the potential to
revolutionize their fields of study. Successful candidates for a Fellowship
generally have a strong record of significant independent research
accomplishments that demonstrate creativity and the potential to become future
leaders in the scientific community. Nominated candidates are normally several
years past the completion of their Ph.D. in order to accumulate a competitive
record of independent, significant research.

In keeping with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's
longstanding support of underrepresented minorities in the sciences, the
Foundation strongly encourages the nomination of qualified women and minority
candidates.

Eligibility requirements:

• Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in
  chemistry, computer science, Earth system science, economics, mathematics,
  neuroscience, physics, or a related field.
• 
  
  Candidates must be members of the faculty of a college,
  university, or other degree-granting institution in the U.S. or Canada.
• 
  
  Candidates must be tenure-track, though untenured, as of
  September 15 of the nomination year.
• Candidate’s faculty position must carry a regular
  teaching obligation.

Anticipated funding: Fellowships are $75,000 for two
years.
