I think that a PhD student that received some awards and fellowships has better chance to get a good postdoc position. I was wondering what awards/grants/fellowships should one consider to apply for?
Here are three that I know of:
- Microsoft Research
- IBM
- Simons Foundation. Although this one seems obsolete.
I'm mostly interested in grants and awards in the US, but I think it's good to have an international list here too.
