2025 OBEL AWARD TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: midnight CEST on 1 August 2025

LOCATION:  Denmark

For 2025, the OBEL Award will grant two teaching fellowships and invite prospective fellows from around the world to apply in partnership with a host institution. The taught courses will preferably begin in 2026 (or soon thereafter) and revolve around the 2025 OBEL Award focus: Ready Made. The aim is to foster deeper exploration, development, and dissemination of knowledge on this key topic within the built environment. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Open for prospective fellows from around the world

Ideally, the potential fellow should lead/teach two courses at the university within the fellowship period in accredited university programs. However, other models of learning could mean that only one more intensive subject is taught and therefore eligible for a fellowship.

Usually, the academic institution will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to accept the fellow as a visiting scholar/guest teacher or professor and administer the fellowship funds on his/her behalf according to the budget submitted and approved in the joint application. However, the Foundation understands that different local customs and legal parameters may require the disbursal of funds in an alternative manner. The H.F. Obel Foundation is flexible in this regard and is most concerned with the creation and imparting of an impactful course(s), the commitment and agreement of both the potential fellow and academic institution to this joint project, and an ability of both to be responsible for the new course(s) and the correct and transparent use of OBEL funds.

The funds are NOT to be used for student trips, student stipends, or promotional publications. Please note the fellowships are NOT intended as a source of funding for current scholars/academics. 

Teaching fellows are expected to remain in the city/region of the university or academic institution for the duration of the course(s), not fly in and out for classes. 

Frequently asked questions about the fellowship and application procedure can be found on the fellowships page. Additional questions may be submitted to fellowships@obelaward.org. We will reply to all questions directly but may use your question to update the FAQs posted on our website.

BENEFIT:

Award will grant two teaching fellowships of up to €75,000

CRI IRVINGTON POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP TO PROMOTE RACIAL DIVERSITY

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: September 1, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time )

LOCATION: USA

The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship to Promote Racial Diversity supports qualified young scientists from underrepresented minorities at leading universities and research centers around the world who wish to receive training in fundamental immunology and cancer immunology. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship to Promote Racial Diversity is open to candidates who identify as Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander. CRI also recognizes that underrepresentation can vary from setting to setting; individuals from socioeconomically disadvantaged populations and from other racial or ethnic groups that can be demonstrated convincingly to be underrepresented by the grantee institution are encouraged to apply. Both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens are eligible.

To be eligible, an applicant must be working at a nonprofit institution in the United States or abroad. 

Applicants must be working in areas directly related to immunology or cancer immunology. An eligible project must fall into the broad field of immunology with relevance to solving the cancer problem.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree by the date of award activation and must conduct their proposed research under a sponsor who holds a formal appointment as an assistant professor or higher rank at the host institution.

Applicants with 5 or more years of relevant postdoctoral experience at the time of award activation are not eligible, with the exception of M.D. applicants, who should not include years of residency in this calculation.

Only in exceptional circumstances will applicants who have already spent 3 or more years in a sponsor’s laboratory by the start date of fellowship be considered for a fellowship award.

The fellowship can be performed in the United States or abroad but must take place at a non-profit institution. There are no citizenship restrictions.

Only one fellow per sponsor may apply per application round, and faculty sponsors may not have more than three CRI-supported fellows at any time.

Resubmissions: Applicants are permitted to resubmit their fellowship application at a subsequent deadline provided that the new application is improved to reflect progress. Changes to the application should be addressed in the subsequent application.

BENEFIT:

Newly awarded fellowships provide a stipend of $74,000 for the first year, $76,000 for the second year, and $78,000 for the third year. An allowance of $5,000 per year is allotted to the host institution for use at the sponsor’s discretion to help pay for the fellow’s research supplies, travel to scientific meetings, health insurance, and/or childcare. CRI provides additional support for fellows to attend CRI’s annual International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference (CICON), and to participate in CRI’s soon-to-be-launched Bioinformatics Bootcamp.

Deductions for administrative overhead are not allowed from either the stipend or the institutional allowance. Payments are made monthly in U.S. currency to the host institution.
