Additional Information
Dimensions Sciences, a nonprofit organization based in the U.S., announced a scholarship program to support Brazilian scientists who are already voluntarily linked to laboratories based in Brazil but do not have a scholarship or salary, or Brazilian scientists returning from scientific exchange abroad (outside of Brazil) to laboratories based in Brazil but do not have a scholarship or salary.
Dimensions Sciences intends to provide a career transition program, allowing professionals in the sciences to continue dedicating themselves to research while searching for employment or longer-term scholarships from state, federal, or international agencies.
Our goal is that representation in the sciences resembles the diversity of the population in general, and our focus in this notice will take into account the ethnic-racial, gender, gender orientation, motherhood, and socioeconomic factors.
Support will be provided in the form of a monthly scholarship (for a minimum of three months, which may be extended to six months depending on the availability of resources, need for extension, and merit) and our mentoring program, Dimensions Sciences Advice, Coaching, Training, and Support (DS-ACTS).
Five to 10 scholarships will be offered to selected candidates who are without a salary or scholarship at the time the program begins. We look for highly motivated candidates with at least a complete master's degree compatible with the area of expertise who carry out scientific activities in the areas of biological and health sciences.
We encourage candidates to apply who have projects related to innovatively fighting infectious and contagious diseases, including the current health emergency (COVID-19). Projects will be evaluated based on feasibility, impact, innovation, and candidate trajectory.
Applications for the DS Bridges scholarship will be open July 21–30, 2021.
