Postdoctoral fellowship opportunity: Exercise timing, circadian system, and cardiometabolic health
Institution: Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School
Program Description: A post-doctoral fellow position is immediately available for a human research project—using a randomized, cross-over design with highly-controlled in-laboratory protocols—to test the relationship between exercise timing and cardiometabolic outcomes in adults with prediabetes. This research will provide novel mechanistic insights into the link between exercise and the circadian system, and may help in the development of evidence-based personalized lifestyle interventions incorporating exercise timing to combat the epidemic of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The successful applicant will be expected to complete this project and develop new research initiatives.

Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Clinician-Scientist Fellowship
Institution: Stanford University
Program: Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance
Position Description: The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Clinician-Scientist Program is focused on supporting clinician-scientists who will advance our understanding of human performance through the design of novel, clinically relevant research studies which can then lead to high-impact innovations in clinical practice. This program has the unique focus of advancing human performance research and offers physicians:
- 2-year fellowship with an interdisciplinary mentor team
- Financial and training support for clinical trainees to have dedicated research experience (≥75% of overall full time equivalent)
- Opportunity to apply for additional travel funds and open-access publication funds
Through this experience, fellows gain the skills and confidence to conduct independent research alongside a clinical practice. It is a unique opportunity that allows fellows to devote significant time to independent research, expand their clinical and research networks, and build connections across human performance communities.
The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance supports research that aims to uncover biological principles governing peak performance and translate these findings to improve health for all. We focus on peak performance and note this distinction from many other institutes that focus on disease mechanisms and medicine (e.g., the National Institutes of Health). Our definition of performance is broad, including both physical and cognitive performance.
