Research Fellow

Description:

Fellowships are available in the Harvard-Longwood Research Training in Vascular Surgery program, designed to provide two years of intense basic research training in vascular surgery for academic clinicians. Trainees carry out their research projects under the guidance of a faculty advisor, selected from 20 renowned vascular researchers based at four Harvard Medical School hospitals, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Womens, Childrens Hospital, the Joslin Diabetes Institute and The Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Laboratory training is supplemented by graduate level training at Harvard Medical School and Harvards Faculty of Arts and Sciences, with course selection complementing laboratory endeavors. Applicants should be United States citizens or permanent residents who are resident physicians, and have completed either two or three years of surgical residency or five years of clinical training (i.e. are board eligible). Only those applicants with career goals in academic surgery, with a keen interest in basic research in vascular surgery, will be compatible. Candidates pursuing a fellowship during a program of clinical training must provide evidence that they will be accepted back into that program upon completion of their research training. Selection is based on merit only, without bias to gender, race, color, or ethnic origin. SUPPORT: NIH Stipend, benefits, and academic appointment at Harvard Medical School as a Research
