Postdoctoral research fellows are supported by Princeton University-sponsored training grants or external fellowships from private or public agencies. Fellows may also receive salary supplements from the faculty sponsors/mentors. Many sources of postdoctoral funding can be found through grant listing services such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
