Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellowship is a cross-campus effort of the Precourt Institute for Energy.

Selection of fellows

Main content start

Identifying future energy leaders 

We seek the brightest emerging scientists who are interested in tackling the global energy problem through interdisciplinary approaches. Our fellows come from around the world, bring a diversity of experiences, identities, and perspectives, and share a mission of work for social good. 

Fellows are selected on the basis of their academic achievement and the promise of their scientific research. Each cohort of Stanford Energy Postdoctoral fellows also has a keen curiosity, shares an appreciation for an interdisciplinary experience, and a desire to have an impact on the global energy transformation. 

Key to the Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellowship experience is the community of fellows. We are deeply committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community of fellows from across genders, races and ethnicities, cultures, physical and learning differences, sexual orientations and identities, veteran status, and work and life experiences. Applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds are highly encouraged. 


The application portal for the 2024 cohort is now closed. Applications for the 2025 cohort will open in July 2024.
