“The work being done by these young scientists represents important, innovative research that will help introduce new methods, processes and instrumentation to the scientific community,” shared Dr. Anne Hultgren, Executive Director of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation. “We’re proud to congratulate each member of the 2021 class of Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellows and to provide support as they transition to independent research careers.”

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 moves from mentored yet independent researchers to tenure-track positions. Funds for 2021 awardees will be issued this summer and extend over a period of up to three years.
