INDO-US RESEARCH CAREER TRANSITION AWARD PROGRAMME (KHORANA-NIRENBERG SCHOLARS)
The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), M/o Science & Technology, Govt. of India signed a Letter of Intent with National Institutes of Health to develop an Indo-US Research Career Transition Award Programme (Khorana-Nirenberg Scholars) to foster collaborative biomedical research and training. The goal of this joint programme is to establish long-term career paths for Indian scientists of exceptional ability and with strong potential for leadership in their field. The Program has two phases, a period of post-doctoral training (2-3 years) at NIH followed by a research or faculty position (2-3 years) funded by DBT at one of India’s Centers of Scientific Research. The nodal agencies to implement the programme are the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India and the HHS National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA.
The Programme invites applications from Indian nationals holding MD or Ph.D. degrees awarded since 2005. Up to four Khorana-Nirenberg scholars will be selected for this highly competitive programme. Please email applications by November 30, 2010 to Dr. T.S. Rao at knsp.dbt@gmail.com . NIH contact for information only : sohrabys@nei.nih.gov
Application format and details about the programme are available on the DBT website at http://dbtindia.nic.in/index.asp and on the NIH website at http://www.nei.nih.gov/jobs/nih_dbt.asp
