TDS IRC Scholar in Residence Program

• Scholars receive a monthly stipend of $5,000 to cover housing and living expenses in Seattle.
• Scholars are expected to maintain salary and benefits from their home institutions; however, alternative financial arrangements may be discussed if necessary.

Candidates are selected based on their potential to contribute to Fred Hutch’s research goals. (Priority is given to faculty members):

• Faculty Members (full-time, tenure-track, or equivalent)
• Postdoctoral Fellows

Scholars must be nominated by a Fred Hutch faculty sponsor with whom they have an existing collaboration. The nomination should include:

• A 2-page proposal outlining the scholar’s research, planned activities, and potential for collaboration with Fred Hutch.
• A CV for the Scholar, detailing relevant experience and achievements.

Applications are reviewed based on:

• Research relevance and collaboration potential with Fred Hutch’s initiatives
• Proposed academic contributions, such as seminars or workshops
• The Scholar’s achievements and field impact

The TDS IRC administrative team provides comprehensive support, including HR, payment processing, and other logistics during the residency. The team will work closely with the scholar's host program to coordinate the residency experience.

Scholars agree to follow Fred Hutch’s policies, including confidentiality, research integrity, and intellectual property standards, ensuring a respectful and productive environment.
