"Postdoctoral researchers are an essential part of academic science and the knowledge Cornell brings into the world. They often mentor students and lead projects, helping advance discoveries in areas like quantum materials, genomics and biomedicine - work that will fundamentally transform technologies, medicine and public health," said Gary Koretzky '78, vice provost for research, who will administer the grant to researchers in the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Cornell Engineering."
"This funding will provide budget relief for current Cornell postdoctoral researchers, and it will help attract new research talent to the university. In 2026, the grant will begin funding 10 two-year postdoctoral appointments: three in astronomy, chemistry and physics in the College of Arts and Sciences; four in biology, genetics, microbiology and computational biology in Cornell CALS; one focused on artificial intelligence and quantum systems in Cornell Engineering; and two in microbiology and immunology and molecular biology in the Veterinary College."
Cornell received a $1.5 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to support postdoctoral researchers in key areas of the natural sciences. The funding will reach four colleges: Arts and Sciences, Agriculture and Life Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and Engineering. The grant will fund ten two-year postdoctoral appointments beginning in 2026 across fields including astronomy, chemistry, physics, biology, genetics, microbiology, computational biology, artificial intelligence, quantum systems, immunology and molecular biology. The funding will provide budget relief for current postdoctoral researchers and help attract new research talent amid nationwide research funding pressures. Gary Koretzky '78 will administer the grant.
