Laboratory heads with vacant positions may recruit postdoctoral associates in the same way that faculty do in academia. These positions are fully supported by HHMI. If a postdoctoral associate is awarded a significant external fellowship (such as from the Helen Hay Whitney, Life Sciences Research, or Jane Coffin Childs Foundations), we ask the awarding foundation or agency to allow the fellow to retain the title and the nonmonetary benefits of the award while HHMI pays the full stipend. In this way, we can allow the individuals to enjoy the status and privileges of their awards without subjecting Janelia Farm to the administrative complexities of accepting grants.
