Current Scientific Competitions
2009 HHMI Early Career Scientist Competition
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is pleased to announce a national
competition to select as many as 70 outstanding early career scientists. This
competition will enable HHMI to identify the nation's best biomedical
scientists at a critical early stage of their faculty careers, and to provide
them with flexible funding to develop scientific programs of exceptional
merit. HHMI seeks scientists in all areas of basic biological and biomedical
research, and in areas of chemistry, physics, computer science, and
engineering that are directly related to biology or medicine.
The competition is now closed.

Positions at Janelia Farm Research Campus:
LABORATORY HEADS
We invite applications from biochemists, biologists, chemists, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, neurobiologists and physicists who are passionate in their pursuit of important problems in basic scientific and technical research. We encourage applications from scientists at all career stages: from those just finishing their graduate degrees to senior, established scientists.
We will make appointments at one of two levels:
Fellows
Fellows are independent scientists with labs of up to two additional members.
Appointments are for five years.
Group Leaders
Group leaders are independent scientists, similar to HHMI investigators, with labs of up to six additional members. The initial appointment is for six years. Thereafter, group leaders will be reviewed for reappointment every five years.
There are two application deadlines per year and the next are: July 15 and December 15, 2009.

All laboratories are internally funded without extramural grants. Lab heads have no formal teaching duties and minimal administrative responsibilities. They are expected to engage in the direct conduct of research and in intellectual interaction with their colleagues. Individual research groups are limited in size, comprising postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and technicians. Janelia Farm hosts conferences; group leaders are encouraged to organize meetings in their areas of interest.
Postdoctoral Associates
Completed applications reviewed regularly.
Postdoctoral associates work in the laboratory of a Janelia Farm group leader or fellow. Appointments are reviewed annually and may be renewed a maximum of four times (maximum of five years in residence). Applications must be made to specific group leaders or fellows.
