[Poscgrad] Fwd: 2026-27 Call for Applications - UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

Tue Sep 2 14:48:03 PDT 2025

FYI -- I've served on the selection committee for this fellowship in the
past and while it's quite competitive, there are strategies you can put in
place to increase your chances. I'm happy to meet with students who want to
apply to this program this year, and my colleague in the Music department
who is an alumna of the program says she will be glad to answer questions.
