Neuropathology Fellowship
Opening for 2023
Description
The Neuropathology Division at Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center offers a two-year fellowship program starting July 1, 2023.
Neuropathology trainees concentrate on clinical training during their first year and on research during their second year. Such training is very diverse, focusing on surgical neuropathology and neurodegenerative diseases. There is also emphasis on molecular diagnostics, neuromuscular pathology, ocular pathology, and forensic neuropathology.
Early in the first year of neuropathology fellowship, the trainee is encouraged to identify a laboratory and mentor, and submit proposals for extramural funding support based on the chosen research topic. With two neuropathology fellows, the second year of training is mostly devoted toward research, as well as gaining clinical independence and teaching experience by overseeing the first year fellow.
Each fellow will have abundant opportunities to present and publish their original research. There is also an opportunity to be supported by the Physician-Scientist Training Program in the Department of Pathology for exceptional candidates.
Most of the Neuropathology faculty have their own laboratories in which projects could be conducted. There are also many other outstanding faculty at Northwestern with a wide variety of research interests that would be of interest to neuropathology trainees.
In sum, those who wish to pursue careers as independently-funded principal investigators, or as team scientists in academia, will have every opportunity to do so here at Northwestern.
Requirements
The candidate must be board-eligible or board-certified in either Anatomic Pathology or Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, or in some other medical specialty such as Neurology, and have had at least one year of Anatomic Pathology training. Candidates for combined training in Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology will be considered.
