Immunology and Vascular Biology
Training Program

Applications to the Immunology and Vascular Biology Program

This program was established to bring to the Research Institute a group of new Ph.D. and M.D. students to train to enter the academic/research community. Its major goal is to train these new Ph.D. and M.D. candidates to enter, continue and establish independent research programs of their own by filling key faculty positions in medical schools and medical research institutes around the country.

Degree Requirement

Individuals must have received a Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.V.M., O.D., D.P.M. Sc.D., D.Eng., D.N.S., or equivalent doctoral degree from an accredited domestic or foreign institution. Certification by an authorized official of the degree granting institution that all degree requirements have been met is also acceptable.

Citizenship

The individual to be trained must be a citizen or a noncitizen national of the United States or have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time of appointment. A noncitizen national is a person who, although not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States. They are generally persons born in lands which are not states, but which are under U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g., American Samoa). Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible.

The Scripps Research Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Applications from members of under-represented minority groups are particularly sought. To apply for a postdoctoral fellowship in the program, please provide:

• A curriculum vitae (to include degrees, training, awards and publications)

• Names and addresses of at least three references

• Proof of permanent residency, if not a U.S. citizen
