The Tulane Innovation Institute Fellowship Program 

This three-year postdoctoral program was created to support the development of new technologies. Our fellows research innovation ecosystems and pipelines to prepare a business plan for their own technology or technology in the Tulane intellectual property portfolio. 

Postdoctoral fellows at the Tulane Innovation Institute contribute to the essential commercialization efforts at Tulane, guided by industry experts, faculty, and Innovation Institute staff. 

Once a technology is identified, fellows will take on the role of chief executive officer for up to three years to commercialize their chosen project and launch a startup company. The Innovation Institute’s postdoctoral fellowship aims to significantly benefit Tulane and New Orleans by offering this unique opportunity to recent PhD graduates passionate about entrepreneurship.
