Description
The Scripps Postdoctoral Program is an annual competitive research program funded and run by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. It offers one or more positions each year to new or recent doctorates working in Oceans & Atmosphere, Marine Biology, or Earth Science. The program supports a broad range of research rather than a single narrowly defined topic.
Scripps researchers serve as potential mentors for proposed postdoctoral projects. Assessment addresses candidates’ training, previous accomplishments, potential for innovative research, and suitability for the proposed work. Mentor letters also address access to facilities especially important to the planned research. Applicants can explore ongoing work through Scripps’ research topics and faculty profiles to identify potential mentors.
