Postdoctoral Positions

Imaging Research Poet-Doctoral Fellowship for Future Academic Physicians

One to 2 years formal NIH funded training program focusing on fundamentals of imaging research at the post MD level is available immediately and funded by 4 institutes (NIDA, NIAAA, NIBIB-primary, and NCI.) Although based in the Department of Radiology, Johns Hopkins University, candidates can come from multiple clinical disciplines especially Psychiatry, Neurology, as well as Nuclear Medicine, Internal Medicine, Oncology, and Surgery, etc.  The primary purpose is to train potential academic physicians to encourage use of imaging in their future research careers.  Highest priority will be given to those who are entering or are in a clinical residency or beginning a clinical Fellowship in their specialties.  Full time training will include mentorship by faculty of Radiology and other participating departments as Psychiatry and Neurology.  Research topics can be basic, translational or clinical and related to the candidate’s clinical specialty.  Arrangements with Radiology and other departments from outside of JHU for joint mentorship and collaboration will be considered.  Formal didactic coursework including joint meetings with other trainees will enhance the educational experience. 

         Priority research fields include cancer, substance abuse/alcoholism, and all radiological sciences (e.g. MRI, PET, CT molecular imaging relating to basic clinical applications).  Positions are available immediately in 2007 with additional positions available starting in 2008 through 2011.  The start date is negotiable.  Three training positions require a minimum of 1 year continuous and one position requires 2 years (not necessary concomitant). 

         Requirements are US permanent residency or US citizenship.  All candidates should have the equivalent of an MD and be in a clinical residency or Clinical Fellowship training program but not be Faculty members. 

         Applicants should send CV with cover letter indicating your major career goals and use of imaging training as well as a summary of any research experience to the Program Director, Dean F.
