SERI Junior Overseas Scientist Fellowship 2026

Call for Applicants

The SERI Junior Overseas Scientist Fellowship is an immersion opportunity designed for budding researchers in ophthalmology and visual sciences. It provides a platform to nurture young scientists around the world and advance their training in these fields, as well as to establish collaborative network between them and SERI.

The Fellowship will require a maximum three (3) months of full-time commitment between the period of July 2026 and December 2026, and this is contingent to the nature of the project. One Fellowship will be awarded for 2026 on a competitive basis.

Each Fellow will be placed under the direct supervision of a Host Principal Investigator at SERI. A proposed training programme must be jointly developed with the Host PI and be submitted as part of the application.

Eligibility

Self-driven individual with a strong interest in ophthalmology and visual sciences research
PhD graduate with no more than 5 years of postdoctoral experience
Not based in Singapore
Not holding another concurrent fellowship or position of similar nature in Singapore during the proposed period of Fellowship

Financial Support

Monthly stipend of S$5,000 during the course of Fellowship

The Fellow will have to undertake his/her own arrangements insofar as his/her flight and living arrangements in Singapore are concerned. Ideally this should be prepared prior to his/her arrival at Singapore.
