Applications are now open for the new SeaBridge postdoctoral fellowship program which partners with the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology.
It will recruit and train approximately 40 postdocs over five years to advance SeattleHub’s technologies, leveraging academic strengths with host laboratories including the UW, Fred Hutch, and Seattle Children’s. The fellowships are funded by a grant from the Washington Research Foundation (WRF), the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), and a gift from the Brotman Baty Institute at UW Medicine. The program is administered in a partnership between the Brotman Baty Institute and the Department of Immunology at UW Medicine.
“These fellowships will help to fund and train postdocs while leading Seattle forward as the epicenter of synthetic biology,” said SeattleHub Co-Director Dr. Marion Pepper, chair of the UW Medicine Department of Immunology. “We’re laying the groundwork for a future in which human biology is monitored and manipulated with genetically encoded control systems that, potentially, will enable new treatments for patients.”
