| Position Description: | A Postdoctoral Research Scholar position is available in the Acute Care Surgery Division in the Department of Surgery. The postdoctoral research scholar position provides an opportunity to join an existing team that is conducting clinical research in the fields of trauma, burn, emergency general surgery, and injury prevention. The post-doctoral research scholar will work primarily with Drs. Dionne Skeete, Patrick McGonagill, and Colette Galet as well as other members of the Acute Care Surgery Division.

Reappointment for additional years is possible depending on the fellow’s performance as it relates to their initiative, support of the division, their publication record, and available funding. |
