## Eligibility & scope

Supports outstanding early-career postdoctoral scientists seeking dual expertise in immunology and data science at the intersection of cancer immunology and bioinformatics/computational methods.

## Summary

The CRI Immuno-Informatics Postdoctoral Fellowship provides $243,000 to support early-career postdoctoral researchers developing dual expertise in cancer immunology and computational biology. The fellowship targets scientists at the intersection of immunological research and bioinformatics who are building quantitative skills alongside experimental knowledge. Two application deadlines per year (September and March) make this a recurring opportunity for postdocs establishing expertise in data-driven immunotherapy.

## Who should apply

- Early-career postdoctoral researchers with PhDs in biology, immunology, or related fields
- Scientists seeking dual expertise in cancer immunology and bioinformatics or computational methods
- Applicants eager to bridge experimental and data-science approaches to immunotherapy
- Postdocs planning to develop independence in computational oncology

## Key dates

- Two annual deadlines: 1 September 2026 and 1 March 2027
- Single-stage application and review
- Fellowship duration not specified; verify with funder

## Tips for applicants

- CRI prioritises dual-track development: show a credible path to fluency in both wet-lab immunology and computational analysis.
- Name a mentor or collaborator with strong bioinformatics credentials; solo immunologists without computational collaborators score lower.
- Use plain language in your aim section to connect immunological questions directly to the computational methods you'll learn.
