Scholarships
Scholarships available to work in the Brasch Group
If you are interested to work in the Brasch Group, there are numerous scholarships available, which could make this possible for you. Most importantly, you should contact Dr Brasch at nbrasch@kent.edu early on so that we can explore various options. Some of them are listed below for undergraduates, graduates, postdoctoral fellows, and others.
Opportunities for Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate students are always welcome. More information about Kent State University’s Undergraduate Program can be found on the web site of the Chemistry Department and on our Open Positions page
Opportunities for Graduate Research
Graduate students are always welcome. Suitably qualified students from all countries are eligible to apply for admission into Kent State University’s Graduate Program. Some more information, especially for students with a strong interest in biological sciences, can be found on our Open Positions page.
Opportunities for Postdoctoral Research
There are a variety of funding opportunities for research/ postdoctoral fellows in our group. Some funds are easier to access for me if I already have a good postdoctoral fellow lined up who is willing to take the position, and I can include his or her details in my funding proposal. So please contact me early if you are interested so that we can explore funding opportunities together.
German citizens can apply to the Humboldt Foundation for a Feodor Lynen Research postdoctoral fellowship to work with an ex-Humboldt Fellow, such as Dr. Brasch. See the AvH web site for details. Fellowships can also be obtained from the DAAD
British citizens can apply to the Leverhulme Trust, Royal Society and British Council for postdoctoral fellowships.
All EU citizens can obtain funding from the EU, under the Marie Curie Actions Umbrella to come to the United States. Please note that in ‘EU-speak’; non-EU countries like the USA are referred to as ‘third countries’;. An example of such funding, for example for an EU citizen to come to the USA as a postdoctoral fellow, is a Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowship (OIF).
Canadian citizens can apply for NSERC postdoctoral awards.
