In memory of

Dr. Paul Sigler,

 

the Agouron Institute will sponsor

a series of three-year postdoctoral

fellowships in the field of structural

biology, with emphasis on studies

of supramolecular structure.


-


This program derives from a study
conducted by the Agouron Institute in
the field of Supramolecular Assemblies (published 1999).


The awardees will be designated Paul
Sigler / Agouron Institute Fellows of
the Helen Hay Whitney Foundation. Exceptional candidates with less than
one year of postdoctoral experience are encouraged to apply. Applicants should
apply directly to the HHWF, which will administer the program. The usual
criteria and procedures for selection of
Helen Hay Whitney Fellows will be
followed. The deadline for applications
is July 16.
