Stephen Manheimer Scholarship in Flavor Science

Calling all emerging flavor scientists! 
 

Kerry and the Monell Center are delighted to launch the Stephen Manheimer Scholarship in Flavor Science, supporting the next generation of scientists advancing chemosensory research and its impact on food and flavor innovation.
 

The scholarship provides hands-on research mentorship, participation in Monell Insiders and industry collaborations, and regular mentorship meetings with leaders from Monell and Kerry. 
 

Eligible applicants have completed a bachelor’s degree or are currently enrolled in a master’s or doctoral program in chemosensory science or a closely related field at an accredited institution.
 

To apply, send your CV and a cover letter outlining your motivation for flavor science, career goals, a statement confirming that your research does not involve animal models or animal data, and contact information for two potential references to AcademicAffairs@monell.org.
 

If selected, you will then be matched with a Monell scientist to co-develop a tailored training plan, which will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary committee.
 

Deadline: 18 March 2026 at 11:59 pm EST.
