Schmidt Science Fellows program 2021: Schmidt Science postdoctoral fellowship was launched in association with the Rhodes Trust in 2017. Since then, they have identified IISc as a participating institute to receive 5-6 IISc nominees in STEM arena and OIR has coordinated the nomination process. Goal of this program is to provide the next generation of scientific leaders with a postdoctoral experience that will expose them to new fields of study (by doing a postdoc in a field different from their own), and in addition, 5-weeks of global exposure to some of the best universities in the world in order to equip them with new ways of thinking and innovation. The program is targeted at individuals, who are currently nearing the completion of their PhDs and exhibit the type of scientific curiosity, intellectual drive, and global ambitions that will position them for future success.
