Visiting Scientist Program
The DOE Joint Genome Institute Visiting Scientist Program (VSP) provides an opportunity for faculty-level scientists who are seeking to build upon their line of scientific inquiry by leveraging JGI experimental, computational, and personnel resources for genomic research and sequence-based science. Projects include de novo generation of genome data, assistance in interpreting and/or building on an existing data set, or the refining of new technology (e.g., single-cell genomics; metagenomics, etc.). Length of stay depends on complexity of the project being considered and availability of data and other resources. Investigators, post docs, and graduate students participating in approved JGI User Projects are also invited to apply for on-site access to JGI resources and capabilities.

Emerging Technologies Opportunity Program (ETOP)
The DOE JGI issues periodic calls for proposals for the Emerging Technologies Opportunities Program (ETOP), inviting the scientific community to partner in providing its users with an evolving set of world-class genomic capabilities.
