Plant Biology
Supports bold ideas in basic plant biology research
Plants comprise over 80 percent of Earth’s biomass and, as such, dominate terrestrial ecosystems. Beyond providing us with food and breathable air, plants have also led to the discovery of cells, chromosomes, Mendelian genetics, transposable elements, RNAi and circadian rhythms. The Simons Foundation seeks to support bold ideas in basic plant biology research as well as recruit new talent to the field.

Simons Postdoctoral Fellowships in Plant Science
The Simons Foundation Fellowships in Plant Science provide funding to Ph.D. recipients who aspire to a research career addressing fundamental problems in plant biology. We are interested in applicants already involved in the plant sciences or whose scientific backgrounds could be applied to plant biology. The program is purposefully flexible to allow alternative models of…
