Postdoctoral Training Program

     The Stowers Institute for Medical Research provides outstanding opportunities for postdoctoral research in a stimulating and interactive environment. Postdoctoral Researchers work under the direction of a Stowers scientist in state-of-the-art laboratories equipped with the most advanced technology and receive competitive salaries and benefits.

     The Institute conducts broad-based interdisciplinary research directed at understanding the genetic, molecular, and cellular pathways that control how multicellular organisms are normally formed and patterned, and how they are altered in disease.

     The average starting salary (or stipend) for first year postdoctoral researchers is around $39,000.

     The successful candidate will have completed or will shortly be completing a Ph.D., M.D. or combined M.D./Ph.D. degrees.

     Those interested in postdoctoral research at the Stowers Institute must contact one of the Institute's principal investigators (PIs). If the PI determines that the individual may be a good fit for the research team, he or she will be asked to complete the application process by submitting the following:

  1. CV with list of publications
