Benefits
The eFellows program will provide postdoctoral researchers with a salary of $75,000 per year, for two years. Upon selection, ASEE will issue subawards to host institutions, to cover salary, benefits and up to $3,000 for travel expenses per fellow.
Fringe benefits for the fellow are requested at the host institution’s applicable rate for postdoctoral researchers, capped at the rate of 26%.
Indirect Costs/Facilities and Administrative costs are charged as a percentage of the modified total direct costs of the host institution, capped at a rate of 35%.
ASEE has developed an experiential learning curriculum exclusively for the eFellows that is designed to prepare participants for a future research career.
The curriculum is designed for a cohort model. The cohort model serves to provide the fellows with a learning community, peer mentoring, and a nurturing environment with “supportive colleagues.” Each cohort member will bring a shared pre-cohort experience comprised of the development of their application in collaboration with an aspirational postdoc faculty advisor.
Programming for fellows – as provided by ASEE with funding from NSF – includes: three immersive meeting experiences with specific learning outcome goals, a 10-part professional development webinar series with special guest speakers from engineering industry and academia, and a research-informed, culturally responsive mentoring program.

Application Deadline - Cohort Three
- Applications for the program’s third cohort are currently being accepted on a rolling basis this year. We expect fellowship awards for cohort three will start being announced on a rolling basis later this Spring. There is no hard deadline to apply. There are, however, limited slots available. Our website will verify if slots are still available until they have been filled.
