The SCIENCE + ENGINEERING ENRICHMENT + DEVELOPMENT
(SEED) postdoctoral fellowship program
Two fellowships are available each year and all fellows are supported by the program for two years. SEED fellows have research goals aligned with APL-UW areas of expertise and define their research programs in conjunction with an APL-UW principal investigator mentor.
“Postdoctoral researchers make significant contributions and often become long-term additions to the science and engineering staff. SEED aims to increase our number of postdocs and to give these new researchers flexibility to set their goals within the Lab’s areas of focus and expertise.” – Dr. Kevin Williams, Executive Director
About SEED

SEED is intended to expand access to professional research careers to those that may not have considered it possible and for APL-UW to interact with scholars interested in pursuing research paths that broaden APL’s research expertise.
