CVRI Research Fellowship

Cardiovascular Translational Research Fellowship

Stritch's Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) seeks applicants for a Fellowship in Translational Research beginning in July 2022. The program will provide advanced training for physician-scientists with an interest in research in cardiovascular medicine or surgery. Fellows will gain experience in study design, analytical/statistical methods, and scientific writing/grantsmanship. Fellows also will perform clinical service through assignment in the section of Cardiology, Department of Medicine or within the department of Cardiothoracic Surgery. Competitive candidates will have an MD or MD/PhD and will have completed a residency or fellowship.

To apply, email a single pdf containing your CV, a statement of research interests, USMLE scores, select publications, and the names of three references to Seth Robia.
