Joint Postdoctoral Program at TIGEM and SR-Tiget

Fondazione Telethon launches a new training initiative for early-career scientists at its

flagship Institutes


Fondazione Telethon is a leading Italian charity dedicated to funding and conducting scientific

research on rare genetic diseases. Since its founding, it has promoted innovative therapies and

groundbreaking research through its renowned Institutes: TIGEM (Telethon Insitute of Genetics and

Medicine) in Pozzuoli and SR-Tiget (San Raffaele Insitute of Gene Therapy) in Milan.


Fondazione Telethon launches a novel Postdoctoral program by offering 3-year fellowships at TIGEM

and SR-Tiget for motivated scientists looking to advance their careers in genetic medicine and gene

therapy. These positions are ideal for researchers who have recently completed their PhD or have up

to 4 years of postdoctoral experience and are looking to further develop their scientific skills within

dynamic, world-class research environments. Up to 18 months of documented maternity/paternity

leave will be excluded from the calculation of postdoctoral experience.


Applicants must have resided and carried out their research outside of Italy in the past 3 years

immediately prior to the application. Priority will be given to scientists currently working in the USA.
