Malaria Research and Training

This is an international collaborative research project between Kuvempu University, Karnataka, India, and The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Hershey, PA, USA focusing on various aspects of P. vivax malaria in Mangalore city funded by a grant from the Fogarty International Center of United States National Institutes of Health, under the Global Infectious Diseases program. This project is intended to train and expand the capabilities of scientists and health professionals in India to engage in malaria research. This innovative and collaborative research-training program is expected to contribute to the long-term goal of building sustainable research capacity in Indian institutions. The intent is to harness scientific knowledge and skills to enhance prevention, treatment and control of malaria.

Goals of the Research Training Program

The overall goals of the project are to

(i) train four PhD students on P. vivax malaria,

(ii) train healthcare professionals and allied personnel in the study area by conducting short-term courses, workshops and symposia, and

(iii) promote international research collaborations.

Recruitment of PhD Students

We are recruiting highly motivated M.Sc. graduates in the area of biological/life sciences who are interested in pursuing research on malaria leading to a Ph.D. degree. We will be recruiting four PhD candidates for conducting the research in this project. Each selected candidate will work on one specific aspect of the research projects for a total period of 4-5 years, including an advanced training in an US University for about one year.

General Requirements: Applicant must be an Indian national and must have or be about to obtain a Master's degree or equivalent in the area of biological sciences or a related field.

Students with a degree in biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, microbiology, and epidemiology, are welcome to apply. The candidates must have passed the National Eligibility Test conduced by UGC/CSIR/ICMR. Those who have taken the examination and anticipated to pass are also encouraged to apply.

Candidates should demonstrate adequate competence in the English language.

Selection of candidates is based on their academic and research credentials, recommendations, their statement of interest and long-term career commitment to malaria research. After successful completion of the course work and candidacy examination, the candidates will initially work in the Mangalore city collecting epidemiological data and blood samples from patients. This will be followed by research work primarily in one of the laboratories of collaborating investigators in India. Depending upon the need, the candidates may also be required to work in the laboratories of other investigators. A committee that comprises of research mentor and other investigators will monitor the candidate’s overall progress. The candidates will have an opportunity to receive an advanced training in the laboratories of investigators in USA for a period of about one year within the total period of 4-5 years. While in USA, the candidate will have an opportunity to attend and present the data at the annual meeting of American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

Research Stipend: The research fellowship (Rs. 16,000/month for the initial two years and Rs. 18,000/month for three years) and HRA are as per recent Department of Science and Technology guidelines. The stipend during the candidate’s stay in the USA is approximately $1,400/month.
