Job Description

Scripps Research Fellows are intended to be scientists of exceptional promise and creativity who have recently completed their Ph.D. training, or with limited postdoctoral experience (< 1 year).

Scripps Research Fellows are housed in the laboratory of a faculty sponsor who will provide space and share instrumentation, along with mentorship and guidance. The Fellows are provided with full salary support and funds for two lab members for a period of three years, at which time they will be reviewed for a faculty position either within Scripps Research or at another prestigious location. The Fellows pursue independent research projects but also have the opportunity to work closely with students and postdocs supported by the faculty sponsor. The Scripps Research Fellows have full Principal Investigator status and have privileges to apply for external grants to expand their research program. The Fellows will have a strong support network and opportunities to build a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative program, thus capitalizing on the intrinsic strengths of the Institute.  Successful Scripps Research Fellows have emerged as nationally competitive for faculty positions, but thus far have largely chosen to remain at Scripps Research to build their independent careers.

QUALIFICATIONS

Candidates must have a recently (< 1 year) received a PhD, MD, DVM or equivalent in a relevant discipline, and have an outstanding record of graduate research that demonstrates originality in addressing significant questions. Successful candidates will be expected to establish a small yet active research group, be an interactive member of the faculty, and participate in interdisciplinary research and training.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Applications will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary Search Committee with representatives across all scientific disciplines. The first round of review will be on applications submitted by December 31, 2025. Applications will continue to be accepted until the position is filled or by the close of May 2026. Anticipated start date will be Fall 2026.

Required components of the application include:

  1. Cover Letter
  2. Curriculum Vitae, including Training Record and Publication List
  3. Letters of Recommendations uploaded by 3 referees
  4. Personal statement (1 page) about the candidate’s career goals, relevant experience, and how the candidate would contribute to the goals of the Scripps Research Fellows Program.
  5. Research statement (up to 3 pages; an additional page may be used for references) addressing the following questions:
  • What is the research problem?
  • What could be accomplished on a 3-year timescale?
  • How can Scripps Research enable these accomplishments?
