GLOBAL RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP: RESEARCH FELLOWS

KAUST is providing three-year support to exceptional postdoctoral researchers through the Global Research Partnership (GRP) Research Fellows program. It is hoped that many of these researchers will spend time at and consider launching their faculty careers at KAUST.

The intent of the Research Fellows program is to provide support to individuals who are at the beginning of a research and teaching career and not yet in a permanent faculty position at an institution.

The 19 Research Fellows, coming from world-class institutions in Asia, Europe, and North America, demonstrate outstanding previous scholarship as well as exceptional potential for career-long engagement both in their fields and with the academic aims of KAUST.

They will dedicate the next three years to working on research problems of great significance to Saudi Arabia, the region and the world, in alignment with KAUST's mission.
