The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation announced today its 2020 class of Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellows in Chemical Sciences, individuals who underscore the Foundation’s mission of supporting basic research in the chemical sciences and chemical instrumentation. They were selected after a three-part review led by a panel of scientific experts.
The Foundation will award more than $4 million in funding over the next three years for 14 exceptional research fellows from 7 universities:
- Amymarie Bartholomew, Ph.D., Columbia University
- Charles Markus, Ph.D., California Institute of Technology
- Forrest Laskowski, Ph.D., California Institute of Technology
- Gavin Kiel, Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“We are so proud to support these young scientists as they begin their transition to independent research careers. The creativity and energy of these emerging scientists bring all of us hope for the future. Congratulations to the 2020 class of Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellows!
The Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellowship provides salary and research support to postdoctoral scholars with the highest potential for success in an independent academic career in the chemical sciences, and to assist in their transition from mentored yet independent researchers to a tenure-track position. Funds for 2020 awardees will be issued this summer and extend over a period of up to three years.
