Sahyadri Award Recipients

Named after the Sahyadri mountain range of South India—part of the Western Ghats and one of the world’s recognized biodiversity hotspots—the award symbolizes resilience, growth, and scientific discovery.

The Sahyadri Award for Outstanding Plant Postdoc(s) recognizes exceptional postdoctoral researchers in plant science–related fields who are currently on the U.S. academic job market. Awardees receive an honorarium, present at the Sahyadri Symposium, and are paired with a faculty mentor who will provide guidance and support throughout the academic job search process.

Congratulations to all the Sahyadri Outstanding Award recipients on this well-deserved award!
