Call for Applications
Applications are now open for the NOMIS–Gladstone Fellowship Program at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND).
This interdisciplinary training and research program offers exceptional postdoctoral scientists the freedom to address big unanswered questions at the intersection of two or more scientific disciplines.
Gladstone provides an ideal environment for training in integrative neuroscience with dedicated mentorship by world-class investigators. After completing their research project with two co-mentors, NOMIS Fellows will be in an ideal position to launch independent careers.
Collaborations with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) further expand the opportunities for professional and career development. NOMIS–Gladstone Fellows will have a primary appointment at GIND and an affiliation with UCSF’s Department of Neurology.

Organization Details
Consequently, scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease maintain a strong focus on neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis. Because of intriguing overlaps between these conditions and other challenging brain diseases, they also study epilepsy and neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism and obsessive compulsive disorders.
The investigators are searching for common threads that will allow them to identify therapeutic interventions that might benefit multiple conditions. They are using unconventional approaches to identify such multi-faceted solutions, while also leveraging capabilities in regenerative and personalized medicine.
To prepare tomorrow’s scientists for this mission, they are strongly committed to training and mentoring at all levels of education.
