Applications are now open for next year’s Runway Startup Postdoc Program at Cornell Tech in NYC. This program is designed for recently graduated STEM PhD who have a startup idea and are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career path.

Information sessions will be held Tuesday, January 21, 11am – noon, and Thursday, January 30, 12 – 2pm.  Register to attend

The Runway Startup Postdoc Program is part business school, part research institution, and part startup incubator. Based at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, Runway ushers recent PhDs in digital technology fields through a paradigm shift — from an academic mindset to an entrepreneurial outlook.

Startup Postdocs arrive with ideas for unproven products and markets that require time and specialized guidance to develop. These startups demand more than a few months to launch. They need a bit of a “runway.” That’s why our program lasts 12–24 months and incorporates academic and business mentorship.

Runway provides an impressive package valued at $175,000 in the first year and $150,000 in the second year, which includes a salary, research budget, housing allowance, space and more. Learn more about benefits and perks here.

The application deadline is February 15.
