In IntelliJ IDEA, I have defined a live template like this:

@Inject
private void postInject() {
  //I want the cursor to be placed here after the execution of the live template.
}

Is there a way to tell IntelliJ to place the cursor inside of the method body after expanding the live template?

Sure. Just put the special $END$ variable to that position.
