Stanford University’s Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM) is accepting applications for its 2027–2029 postdoctoral fellowships in California, United States. The opportunity is specifically for materials research, rather than a university-wide fellowship scheme.
Salary and research support
The appointment provides two years of support, an initial annual salary of US$80,000 plus benefits, and US$5,000 each year for research or travel.
Eligibility and faculty fit
International candidates are eligible. Applicants must have their PhD by the starting date and no more than two-and-a-half years of postdoctoral experience. Both theoretical and experimental researchers can apply. Appointments are expected to start between June and December 2027.
A primary host must belong to GLAM. Discuss a proposed research programme with that faculty member before applying: their nomination is part of the application. Cross-disciplinary collaborations are encouraged.
Required application materials
- CV including publications.
- A two-page research statement describing proposed work and GLAM collaborations.
- Academic and current-position information.
- Faculty-host nomination and two referee letters.
- Optional relevant recent publication or preprint.
Submit through SlideRoom by 30 November 2026 at 23:59 PST (UTC−8). All required letters must arrive by the deadline.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply before finishing my PhD?
Yes, provided you graduate before the appointment begins.
Is US$80,000 a one-time grant?
No. It is the initial annual salary.
Can I submit letters late?
No. GLAM makes the applicant responsible for a complete file by the deadline.
