Applications are NOW OPEN for the Stanford PRISM, a cohort-based travel award program for graduate students to explore postdoctoral training at Stanford. All are welcome, though we especially encourage graduate students who bring less represented perspectives to the research enterprise to apply.
Stanford has one of the largest postdoc populations in the country and a strong commitment to helping postdocs succeed and thrive. Through PRISM, cohorts of students visit Stanford to interview with faculty, connect with current postdocs, and learn about postdoctoral training. Visit the PRISM website for guidance on preparing a successful application and connecting with potential mentors.
Application Closes: October 2, 9am PDT
Cohort Visit: December 7-10, 2026
Eligibllity: Conferral dates of May 2027-December 2028 preferred. US Citizenship/PR requirements vary by school and funding availability. Students located in the US, US territories, Canada and Mexico only; no interenational travel supported. Other eligibility requirements vary by funding source.
