AIFA First Offer Date
The choice of a Post-Doctoral Fellowship is an important decision. MCPHS, in conjunction with the Alliance of Industry Fellowship Associates (AIFA), has aligned to extend offers for Fellowships no earlier than December 16, 2024. We believe this is a positive reflection of the cultures our Programs offer, and that culture is a critical consideration in choice of Fellowship. We hope that other academic and non-academic Fellowship Programs will NOT pressure candidates to accept offers prior to this aligned offer date.
We see this respect for candidate choice as a common aspect of each of our Program's cultures. We hope that other academic and non-academic Fellowship Programs will respect this timeline.
Onboarding
Final candidates will be required to go through additional screening / onboarding as required by MCPHS.
