Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Patrick Griffin <pgriffin(a)scripps.edu> > Date: March 1, 2018 at 10:25:08 AM PST > To: Andrej Sali <sali(a)salilab.org> > Subject: Seeking Nominations for Scripps Fellows > > Hi Andrej, > > Hope all is well. > > We have a new initiative at TSRI similar to programs elsewhere looking for outstanding new PHDs. Attached is the Flyer they gave us and below are the details. FYI - I would be willing to have one fellow in my lab. > > > The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) invites applications for several newly created Scripps Fellow positions on the California and Florida campuses. > > Scripps Fellows applicants are intended to be scientists of exceptional promise and creativity nearing completion of their PhD work, or with very limited postdoctoral training. Scripps Fellows will be housed in the laboratory of a designated faculty sponsor who will provide space and share instrumentation. The Fellows will be provided with 100% salary support and funds for two co-workers for a period of three years. The Fellows will work on their own independent research projects, but will also have the opportunity to work closely with joint students and postdocs supported by the faculty sponsor. The Scripps Fellows will have Principal Investigator status, and have privileges to apply for external grants to expand their research program. Successful Scripps Fellows will be expected to emerge as nationally competitive for faculty positions, and can be considered for faculty positions at Scripps. > > I write to ask for your help to bring this opportunity to the attention of outstanding candidates to join this growing and dynamic academic discovery venture. We believe Scripps Fellow provides an outstanding opportunity, an unparalleled career development path combining the advantages of both mentored and independent research, for the most gifted and innovative minds to launch their independent academic career. Scientists from all disciplines in biological and chemical sciences are encouraged to apply. Please circulate this letter to your colleagues and lab members and, if interested, ask them to apply online at: http://apply.interfolio.com/45293. If you have any questions about this opportunity please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. A flyer is also enclosed, and I would appreciate it if you could post it. > > Sincerely, > > Pat > > Patrick R.
