Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Department of Pathology
Opportunities for Pathology Trainees In Cancer Research (OPTIC) Program
Accepting Applications for AY 2021-2023

Johns Hopkins Pathology is accepting applications for its cancer biology research training program funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Research fellows will join laboratories at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHUSOM), and participate in coursework and other activities to introduce them to current topics in cancer research and fundamentals of academic career development. Fellows will also participate in the JHUSOM Physician-Scientist Training Program. Ideal candidates are those who want to become principal investigators of laboratory groups, though other career trajectories could also fall under the scope of this training program. This fellowship opportunity might work well for motivated pathologists who want to come and work with research groups at Johns Hopkins during or after their clinical residency or fellowship.

Eligibility:

Applicants must hold an M.D. degree and be pursuing residency or fellowship training in anatomic and/or clinical pathology. They must be willing to spend a minimum of two years in the program. Applicants must be eligible for NIH training grant support, and so must be a citizen of the United States, a non-citizen national, or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

How to apply:

Send a CV and a brief personal statement describing your research interests and career plans via email to:

Tamara Lotan, M.D.

https://prostatespore.weill.cornell.edu/

The Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) in Prostate Cancer at Weill Cornell Medicine offers a one to two-year Research Fellowship in Prostate Pathology.

Objectives: The Weill Cornell Medicine SPORE program is composed of four projects focused on highly translational areas relevant to the detection and treatment of prostate cancer. This Research Fellowship has a extensive exposure to oncologic surgical pathology and a comprehensive translational research component. The Fellow will act as a bridge between pathologists, oncologists, surgeons, computational biologists and basic scientists in order to facilitate completion of the SPORE projects. These include the development of biomarkers to assess disease progression, new therapeutic approaches and translation of pre-clinical models into the clinic. The fellow will work closely with the biobank to develop and maintain high quality tissue samples to be used for a variety of research platforms.

Responsibilities and learning opportunities:
  •   To inventory, review and annotate prostate cancer samples for a variety of studies
  •   To become familiar with next-generation sequencing platforms
  •   To be involved in assay development and validation studies
  •   To participate in other prostate-related pathology research activities, including our rapid autopsy program
  •   To assist in research activities that support SPORE Projects

Requirements: Both pathologists in training and candidates who have completed pathology residency will be considered. Prior experience in molecular biology/molecular pathology and/or prior fellowship training is encouraged. One position is available.

Faculty: Brian D. Robinson, MD, Francesca Khani, MD, Juan Miguel Mosquera, MD, Massimo Loda, MD.

Stipends: Salaries are commensurate with the level of training.

Applications: Please send Curriculum vitae, personal statement and two letters of recommendation to:
