Postdoc Fellowship Matcher

Filter postdoctoral fellowships based on applicant nationality, years since PhD, and research area.

Quick Check

python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

When to Use

  • Use this skill when a postdoc applicant needs to identify eligible fellowships based on their nationality, career stage, and research field.
  • Use this skill when comparing fellowship requirements and deadlines across multiple programs.
  • Do not use this skill to draft fellowship applications, write personal statements, or guarantee eligibility determinations.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the applicant's nationality, years since PhD completion, and research field.
  2. Validate that the request is for fellowship matching, not application writing or eligibility certification.
  3. Filter the fellowship database against the provided criteria.
  4. Return a ranked list of eligible fellowships with deadlines, requirements, and notes.
  5. If inputs are incomplete, state which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.

Usage

python scripts/main.py --nationality US --years 1 --field "immunology"
python scripts/main.py --nationality CN --years 3 --field "structural biology" --name "Dr. Zhang"

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
--nationalitystringYesApplicant nationality (e.g., US, CN, DE)
--yearsintegerYesYears since PhD completion
--fieldstringYesResearch field (e.g., immunology, neuroscience)

Fellowship Database

Includes: NIH F32 · NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships · HFSP Fellowship · EMBO Fellowship · Marie Curie Fellowships · Schmidt Science Fellows

→ Full fellowship details: references/fellowships.md

Field Input Normalization

The --field parameter accepts free-text research field names. Common aliases are normalized automatically:

InputNormalized To
structural biostructural biology
cell biocell biology
neuroneuroscience
immunoimmunology

If your field is not recognized, the skill will return the closest matches and ask you to confirm.

Output

  • Eligible fellowships list with match rationale
  • Deadlines and key requirements per fellowship
  • Notes on eligibility caveats and verification steps

Scope Boundaries

  • Fellowship data reflects the built-in database; verify current deadlines and requirements on official program websites before applying.
  • This skill does not access live fellowship databases or real-time deadline updates.
  • Eligibility output is a filter result, not a legal or official determination.
