AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship – Do you have a passion for studying the health of the heart, the cerebrum, or the brain as a postdoc? Prior to starting a career in independent research, the program aims to launch careers in cardiovascular and stroke research while producing substantial research findings under the guidance of a sponsor or mentor.

For postdoctoral colleagues directing research in the logical domain of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and distributed computing, the AHA Fellowships 2023 are available.

This postdoctoral fellowship aims to educate and train the next generation of scientists in the fields of stroke, heart disease, and large-scale computing. The USA is the host nation for this Fellowship.

What is the Goal of the Postdoctoral Fellowship with the AHA?

Enhancing postdoctoral applicants’ training who have not yet gained independence in their research careers is the main goal of this program.

To do this, candidates must participate in an appropriate research group and get the direction and assistance of a research mentor who offers pertinent scientific guidance.

This scholarship is flexible, enabling applicants to advance their academic careers in research while meeting clinical service obligations, in recognition of the particular difficulties experienced by physicians in juggling research and clinical responsibilities.
