International Program Mentors

We’re excited you’re interested in joining ICSI as a DAAD-sponsored postdoctoral fellow. The first step is to find a mentor whose research interests align with yours. The senior researchers who mentor postdocs are below. If you are interested in working with a member of the UC Berkeley faculty who does not appear below, let us know. We can work to establish relationships with new advisors.

Once you have identified someone, go to the IFI call for proposal, which will guide you through the process of applying.
