Postdoctoral Scholars (including medical residents)
This training program is open to postdoctoral scholars. Trainees must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. All trainees are required to pursue research training full time. Appointments are for one year with the possibility of an additional year renewal. Evaluation will be based on evidence of outstanding scholarship and potential, and a letter of support from research advisor (and optionally, if applicant is new to UCI, letter from previous advisor).
The application consists of the following and must be submitted via email to Dr. Raju Metherate (raju.metherate@uci.edu):
- Cover letter with statement detailing interest in and commitment to a career in hearing research
- CV
- Reference letter(s)
Positions are available to medical residents for a one-year (renewable) research experience in a basic science lab. Evaluation will be the same as for other postdoctoral applicants.
