Start the application process at the bottom of the page.
Overview
The SMBE Fellows Program aims to provide mentorship and guidance to early-career researchers in scientific writing for evolutionary and molecular biology. Specifically, we aim to develop skills in writing Highlight articles for our two sister journals Molecular Biology and Evolution (MBE) and Genome Biology and Evolution (GBE). Fellows will gain experience in translating scientific research into articles for an informed, non-specialized audience, while receiving editorial guidance and networking opportunities within the SMBE community, including the possibility of attending the next SMBE annual meeting. This is a unique opportunity for young researchers to contribute to the visibility of science in our field, gain networking opportunities, and build skills for a future career in research, publishing, or science communication.
