The Seattle-India Global Infectious Diseases Training Program invites applications from promising Indian Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scientists for advanced training in Malaria, Leishmaniasis, Tuberculosis, and other intracellular pathogens.
Postdoctoral fellowships
Fellowships for postdoctoral scientists will be funded
for two years to train on collaborative projects at
Jawaharlal Nehru
University (JNU) or the
International Center for Genetic Engineering
and Biotechnology (ICGEB) and at a laboratory at the
University of
Washington (UW) or
Seattle
Biomedical Research Institute (Seattle BioMed) in
Seattle, WA, USA. Up to one year of these fellowships will be spent
in a laboratory in Seattle.
Graduate Student fellowships
Additional fellowships are available for one year
for students in Ph.D. degree programs at JNU or ICGEB to
spend up to six months in one of the Seattle laboratories on a
collaborative project. In order to be eligible
for the program students
