But you can make one on the underlying table.

You should apply indexes on columns where you need to discriminate amongst
different values quickly.
Anyway - what you need to do here is:
1. Run "VACUUM ANALYZE"
2. Run "EXPLAN ANALYZE SELECT tblroster.transcriptlink ..."
and post the output here.
Then we can see what query-plan PG is using.

There is a performance tuning article and a breakdown of the config file
