   出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編為大家?guī)淼聡┦亢螵剬W(xué)金申請經(jīng)驗(yàn)之談,希望對出國留學(xué)的同學(xué)有所幫助。想了解更多留學(xué)精彩內(nèi)容,出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)為你詳細(xì)解答。
    現(xiàn)在再說一下我申請postdoc fellowship的經(jīng)歷。
    即使老板有錢,不用申請,還是申請一下好。第一,為你的簡歷貼金。第二,獎學(xué)金是免稅的,通常高于普通postdoc稅后收入。第三,申請不化錢。第四,有的獎學(xué)金機(jī)構(gòu)會對你的申請報(bào)告作出評價(jià),無論成功否,你都能更好了解自己研究項(xiàng)目的地位和自身能改進(jìn)處。
    我知道的不會德語的中國人能申請的博士后獎學(xué)金:Humboldt,Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowship。若與生物方面有關(guān)還有:EMBO,Human Frontier Science Program, Schering。應(yīng)該還有更多,誰知道的歡迎補(bǔ)充。另外博士生也應(yīng)該調(diào)查一下可申請的獎學(xué)金,試一試總沒有壞處。
    寫申請報(bào)告當(dāng)然是最重要的,要時(shí)刻想到評審人希望看到你提出的計(jì)劃可以真正實(shí)施而不是紙上談兵,所以不僅要有好的想法還要提供充足的preliminary data,最好是已發(fā)表的。具體怎么寫我不羅嗦了,網(wǎng)上能查到很多。
    其次是老板牛不牛。再次是自己牛不牛(以前是為啥老板干的,發(fā)表了什么)。
    我同時(shí)申請了Humboldt,Marie Curie,HFSP,我自認(rèn)為機(jī)會50%,因?yàn)閷懮暾垥r(shí)我還沒開做,不知該項(xiàng)目的底細(xì),老板無名(postdoc剛做出來的,小小的一個(gè)group leader),但我發(fā)表論文較多(要感謝曾在UM被迫充當(dāng)廉價(jià)勞力,有3篇第一作者和3篇合作)。結(jié)果出乎意料3個(gè)全中,我當(dāng)然選個(gè)給錢最多的拉。
    其中Marie Curie(EU的錢)給了很詳細(xì)的評價(jià),節(jié)選如下,希望對其他申請人有幫助:
    申請報(bào)告
    Strong points:
    -This is an exceptional clear project focused on getting new and important insights into a very important problem of cell physiology.
    -The experimental design is excellent.
    Weak points:
    -However, additional in vivo experimentats would improve the application and could certainly add to the biological significance of the project.
    我本人
    The applicant has a broad research experience. The applicant has a large number of publications, however only few in very good journals. The applicant has proven very good independent thinking. There is a perfect match between the applicants profile and the project. There is a very good potential to acquire new knowledge.The topic of the proposed project is perfectly in line with the candidate''''s previous research endeavors and the candidate is expected to have the required experience in the field to successfully conduct the proposed research programme.
    我老板
    However, having established the laboratory only recently, it may not be fully organized yet, and some organizational adjustments may occur during the training period of the fellow. Infrastructure of the host laboratory is perfectly adequate for the proposed project.
    可行性
    Strong points:
    -The outline of the project (management and workplan) is excellent.
    -The applicant already started working in the host laboratory, and the practical arrangements for conducting the project are thus in place.
    Weak points:
    -However, a detailed risk assessment is lacking.
