The Application Period is Now Closed

Online applications were accepted through January 17, 2025 at 5:00 pm North American Pacific Time. 

We received such a large number of applications that we need extra time to give each one a fair and complete review. We will begin to send notifications of decisions during the second week of February. We apologize for the delay.

BEST is evaluating applications for up to eight Dana Devine Fellowship positions from individuals that are early-mid career. As a guide, this would typically be less than 5 years from completion of PhD for scientists or 5 years from the completion of specialty training for physicians, but applications outside of these bounds from individuals that demonstrate potential will also be considered. Each fellow will be assigned at least one mentor who is a current scientific or honorary member of BEST. Successful candidate positions will commence with the Edinburgh, Scotland meeting in May 2025, and will run through the Fall 2026 meeting,  at which time one can apply to be a Scientific Member.
