The ASAPbio Fellows program aims to allow participants to learn more about preprints and build confidence in interacting with others about preprints and open research. The program also provides opportunities for the Fellows to connect with other members of the community. More information on the program is available at
asapbio.org/fellows and in the
Fellows handbook.
We welcome applications from active researchers at any career stage, and from those involved in supporting researchers e.g. librarians, editors or science communicators. There are no restrictions related to country or location. We do however require participants to have a good grasp of spoken and written English in addition to a reliable internet connection.
The Fellows program consists of an initial Culture and Community track with an optional projects track. The full Fellows program runs for seven months (March to September) with the culture and community track completing in August (six months). The expectation is that you will participate in activities requiring up to 5 hours/month. ASAPbio will provide organizational support throughout the program. ASAPbio Fellows are also members of the ASAPbio Community.
We will review applications and follow up with applicants via email within two weeks after the Feb 10 application deadline. The program will run from March to August (for the initial track) and to September (for the projects track) 2025. We will be recruiting 30-35 Fellows in 2025.
