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.
