Have you ever wanted to use your skills at a high-tech start-up or even start your own company?
THIS COULD BE YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Innovative Postdoctoral Entrepreneurial Research Fellowship (I-PERF) recruits, trains, mentors, matches, and funds early-career Science and Engineering (S&E) doctoral degree recipients to participate in innovative entrepreneurial activities at some of the nation’s most promising startup companies.
I-PERF addresses a national need to accelerate small business innovation in support of federal government research by providing small businesses with doctoral-level expertise at a reduced cost and training the next generation of S&E PhDs in high-tech entrepreneurship.
I-PERF Fellows receive an annual base stipend of $78,000 per year, optional individual health and life insurance benefits, relocation assistance to the approved host company, a professional conference travel allowance, and scripted professional development training funded by the National Science Foundation. Spaces are expected to go quickly with more than 200 NSF-approved companies expected to be eligible to participate in this program.
