Applications are sought from candidates together with prospective faculty hosts.

Carnegie Bosch Fellowships are two-year awards supporting outstanding postdoctoral researchers conducting high-potential research within the excellence-driven environment of CMU. Offering benefits beyond 'traditional' postdoc roles, Fellows are provided with the resources, flexibility, and environment to address "grand challenge" style problems in line with their research vision together with their faculty host. Postdoctoral positions supported by CBI provide remarkable opportunities to not only shape the next generation of research, while offering. Fellows the chance to develop other skills necessary to advance their academic careers in exceptional directions. Fellowship recipients are expected to broadly with the international research community in their respective fields and will be provided resources to aid with these efforts, e.g. conference registration travel, workshop/conference organization support, etc.

Carnegie Bosch Fellows are hosted within colleges at CMU and provided with mentorship and direction from world-class faculty as well as access to industry-grade resources from Bosch. Specifically, Fellows are paired with a faculty host working closely to inspire and guide their overall research efforts, and an additional distinguished member of the senior faculty offering unique mentorship support. In addition, Fellows will have the opportunity to be introduced to experts from the global Bosch Corporate Research organization, providing additional insight and counsel from an industrial perspective and sharing access to real-world challenges from domains such as mobility systems, advanced manufacturing and future IoT systems.
