Attention: Grad students and PIs and everyone else. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the @ragoninstitute Early Independence Postdoctoral Fellowship (big thread ahead) (1/11)

The Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard is a collaborative institute at the heart of Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA focused on using our collective intelligence, creativity, and diversity to study and harness the immune system to prevent and cure human diseases (2/11)

Investing in our trainees is a priority. We felt it was time to create new opportunities for outstanding graduate students and clinician-scientists who are excited and ready to launch their independent research vision a little earlier than what is traditional. (3/11)

So, we did a lot of research on independent postdoctoral fellowships around the globe and today, we're excited to launch two tracks: a biomedical scientist track and a clinician-scientist track. (4/11)

The fellowship (up to 5 years in length) provides a generous resources for you to begin a small group. Our facilities are amazing, and we have a fantastic clinical repository. You will have a team of faculty mentors to support you in your journey. (5/11)

Who are we looking for? Answer: Collaborative, creative scientists who have a research vision aligned with Ragon Institute mission who are nearing the end of their graduate studies. (6/11)

Interested in learning more? Please check out our website ( https://www.ragoninstitute.org/faculty-recruitment/). Our application submission will be open soon. (7/11)

We will be hosting 3 Zoom open houses to introduce folks to the Ragon, our science and our people (dates TBA). We value community and thought this would be a way to offer a more personal glimpse at the Institute than just reading about us on a website. (8/11)

This is our inaugural year. We are invested in making this fellowship successful, but I need your help amplifying and getting this information to any and every grad student/clinician-scientist who might be excited about this opportunity. (9/11)

Lastly, the Ragon Institute is a fun place to work!! This is very important. (10/11)

Email us if you have any questions or if you want to be informed about the open houses! (ragonfellows [at] mit [dot] edu) (11/11)
