Schering-Plough is an innovation-driven, science-centred global health care company. Through our investment in biopharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing we create therapies that help save and improve lives of people around the world.
In recognition of the central role of organic synthesis, analytical, biostructural and computational chemistry in drug discovery, Schering-Plough Research Institute (SPRI) has established a Fellowship programme to support outstanding Ph.D. students in these areas with strong interest in biomedicine who wish to pursue their postdoctoral research at a University in the United States. The Fellowship is designed to provide support for up to two years at an annual $50,000 stipend to cover travel and maintenance costs. The programme is open to the final year Ph.D. students of organic synthesis, analytical, biostructural or computational chemistry at a credited university in the United Kingdom or The Netherlands. Applicants should provide a CV, a synopsis of their PhD research, a letter of recommendation from their PhD supervisor, a concise summary of their proposed postdoctoral research and a conditional letter of acceptance from their postdoctoral supervisor. Proposals will be reviewed by a panel of scientists from SPRI research centres in Scotland and The Netherlands. The short-listed applicants will be invited to present their proposals in early spring, and awards will be made available for studies starting in autumn 2009.
