TIGS invites applications for fully-funded, visiting
postdoctoral training opportunities for PhD or equivalent candidates (< 3
years past PhD degree) in the fields including or related to those listed
above. Candidates will complete 2 years of postdoctoral training at TIGS-UC San
Diego, with the second year contingent upon acceptable performance in the first
year. The best candidates will have the possibility of exciting job
opportunities and incentives for continuation of their work at TIGS-India in
Bangalore. Funding will be available for a maximum duration of two years,
subject to a clear definition of project aims, biannual project reports, formal
annual presentations and an annual evaluation of significant progress both by
the UC San Diego faculty mentor and a UC San Diego Advisory Group chaired by
the Associate Director of TIGS. Each award covers the costs of the visiting
postdoctoral stipend, benefits, supplies, travel to UC San Diego and equipment.
The visiting postdoctoral scholar positions are two-year
appointments, during which time, the scholar will actively participate in IPE’s
program of activities and in particular its research project in Ethical Issues
and Social Implications in Active Genetics. Visiting postdoctoral scholars will
be expected to lead monthly meetings on Active Genetics and ethics, attend a
monthly meeting on scientific issues within Active Genetics, and assist with
project activities (which may include writing grant proposals, organizing
workshops, and research in the area). Duties will be decided through
consultation between the scholar and IPE Co-Directors. Visiting postdoctoral
scholars are required to be in residence for the entirety of two academic
years. IPE and TIGS are especially interested in candidates who can contribute
to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research and
service.
