<b>AWARDS AND APPOINTMENTS.</b> Fellowships are awarded for research conducted at any one of the University of California’s ten campuses.<span class="m_-746899033327931060gmaildefault"> </span>The award includes a salary starting at approximately $66,737 depending on field and experience,
 benefits including health insurance and paid vacation/sick leave, and up to $5,000 for research-related and program travel expenses. Each award is for a minimum of 12-months and may be renewable for an additional term upon demonstration of academic/research
 productivity.<br>
<br>
<b>ELIGIBILITY. </b>Applicants must receive a Ph.D. or terminal degree from an accredited university before the start of their fellowship. Successful applicants must present documents demonstrating that they are legally authorized to work in the United States.
