Overview:

Fred Hutch is seeking applications for the 2nd Annual Dr. Eddie Mendez Scholar Award which recognizes outstanding postdoctoral fellows from any discipline who are conducting research related to cancer, HIV, or other infectious diseases. The award was created to recognize Dr. Méndez’s commitment to cancer research and to supporting early-career underrepresented minority scientists and scientists with disabilities.

Awardees will arrive on May 22, 2020 and will participate in activities on campus while exploring Seattle. They will then present at a scientific symposium on May 23,2020  honoring Dr. Eddie Mendez and will have the opportunity to visit Fred Hutch and meet with faculty members.
