Recognizing that the choice of a Post-Doctoral Industry Fellowship is an important decision, the PCP in partnership with the Alliance of Industry Fellowship Associates (AIFA), has agreed to extend offers for fellowships no earlier than December 13, 2023.
We see this respect and support for candidate choice as a common aspect of each of our Fellowship Program’s cultures. We hope that other academic and non-academic Fellowship Programs will respect this timeline.
