Early Career Fellowships for Researchers in India

Purpose

This scheme provides a unique opportunity for the most promising newly qualified postdoctoral researchers to make an early start in developing their independent research careers, working in the best laboratories in India.

Candidates will be expected to identify an important biomedical research question and to develop and deliver a personal programme to achieve their research aims. Fellows may normally spend up to 12 months outside the host institution in other leading laboratories in India or elsewhere.

What's included

The fellowship is for four years full time and provides:

• 
  personal support for the fellow
  
  
• 
  research expenses (materials and consumables; animals; travel and overseas subsistence; support to attend scientific meetings; and small items of equipment, e.g. laptop)
  
  

• additional allowances for scientifically justified visits of normally up to 12 months.

Support funds for research staff or equipment are not provided. It is expected that an appropriate laboratory will be selected and that the majority of the necessary equipment and facilities required for the proposed research will be available to the candidate.

Eligibility

You must be in the final year of your PhD studies or have no more than one year of postdoctoral research experience from the date of your PhD viva to the full application submission deadline. Time spent outside the research environment will be taken into consideration.

You must have shown significant promise in your scientific career to date and the potential to become an independent researcher.

You are expected to be an Indian national but need not have undertaken your PhD in India. You are expected to have the intention of pursuing a long-term research career in India.

Resubmission following consideration of full application is not normally permitted.

The proposed research should fall within the partnership's normal funding remit.

Sponsorship and supervision

You must have an eligible sponsoring institution in India that will administer the fellowship for the full duration of the award.

You will require a:

sponsor who can guarantee that the host institution will administer the award for the full tenure of the fellowship - he/she must have a contract of employment at the host institution and have tenure beyond the duration of the proposed fellowship.

mentor who will provide you with independent support and advice for the duration of the award

research sponsor in every laboratory who must be able to guarantee you access to space and resources for the required period and provide relevant scientific guidance.
A sponsor may also be nominated as a research sponsor or mentor on an application. However, we would not expect a single individual to be proposed for all three roles.

Application process

You should complete and submit a preliminary application form [Word 170KB] by the published deadline.

Completed forms must be submitted to info@wellcomedbt.org.

Your preliminary application will normally be assessed within one month of the submission deadline. If successful, you will be invited to submit a full application.

Your full application will be peer reviewed and considered by the appropriate Selection Committee and, if successful, you will be short-listed for interview.

Short-listed candidates will be notified two weeks before the interview date.

Awards will be conditional upon a satisfactory performance at interview.

Application advice

You should give careful thought to your choice of sponsor and mentor. Appropriate individuals will possess strong track records in research, training and/or mentorship.

You should drive the identification of a research question and the development of the proposal. However, we expect your sponsor and mentor to provide you with advice and support during the application process.

You will be expected to focus on your research for the duration of the award.

You may not apply for more than one Alliance fellowship scheme at any one time.

Reviewers typically assess:

your track record

the importance of the research question

your choice of appropriate research sponsors

the feasibility of the approach

your vision of how the fellowship will contribute to your career development

your longer-term aspirations.

The fellowship encourages mobility by allowing Indian nationals who have undertaken their doctoral studies overseas to return to India and/or by allowing part of the fellowship to be undertaken in one or more leading laboratories within India or elsewhere for a period of normally not more than 12 months.

During time spent in other laboratories, candidates are encouraged to maintain strong links with their host institution and spend the final year of the fellowship in their host institution in India.

Deadlines

Competitions for this scheme will be launched in December and July of each year.

Late applications will not be accepted at any stage.

Next Competition:

Preliminary application deadline: 25 January 2010
Invited full application deadline: 22 March 2010
Selection Committee short-listing: June 2010
Interviews for short-listed candidates:July 2010
For full applications invited for the 20 November 2009 deadline:
Selection Committee short-listing: January 2010
Interviews for short-listed candidates:February 2010
Fellowships may not be taken up prior to PhD award. The fellowship must be started within one year of award.

PhD position: modeling RNA-protein interactions and inferring post-transcriptional regulatory codes

In the recent years it became apparent that normal development involves regulatory interactions of proteins and non-coding RNAs with target mRNAs, whose lifetime and protein output is thereby modulated. Over-expression of specific RNA-binding proteins as well as of regulatory RNAs such as miRNAs have been associated with various diseases, in particular with cancers. Developments in sequencing technologies coupled with novel experimental protocols yield large numbers of binding sites for various regulators. Analyses of such binding sites, together with various types of physical measurements (affinities of interactions, structure of regulator-target complexes, etc.) should enable us to understand and subsequently predict with high accuracy binding sites genome-wide and to study the extent and structure of these regulatory networks.

The group of Mihaela Zavolan (Biozentrum Basel and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) aims to understand the logic and function of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression during basic cell function, development and cancer. For this purpose we generate, analyze and computationally model large high-throughput biological data sets. We currently seek a highly motivated PhD student with a very strong quantitative background, interested to join our highly dynamic research group in order to investigate the logic of RNA binding protein - target interactions and the function of these interactions in normal and pathological conditions.

Requirements

We are looking for candidates with a background computer science, physics/biophysics, applied mathematics, computational biology or bioinformatics, and a demonstrated ability to perform research. Candidates should have experience in programming, preferably in C/C++ and a scripting language like Perl or Python. Although a formal training in molecular biology is not required the succesful candidates will be expected to collaborate closely with experimental colleagues and good communication skills are highly desirable.

Please submit your application letter, CV and the contact information of two references before December 15, 2009 to:
