Tulane Innovation Institute Fellowship Program 

This two-year postdoctoral program was established to support the development of new technologies. Our fellows research innovation ecosystems and pipelines to develop a business plan for their own technology or technology within 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 two years to commercialize their chosen project and launch a startup company. In special circumstances, the fellowship may be extended to an additional third year. 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.
