Postdoctoral Fellowship in Comparative Pathology

The Johns Hopkins University Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology invites applications for a one to 3-year postdoctoral fellowship in anatomic veterinary pathology with a strong emphasis on experimental pathology.

Program

Training opportunities are comparable to veterinary anatomic pathology residency training, and emphasize study related (experimental) pathology. The fellow gains practical experience in pathology and reporting for diverse projects and species in JHU research, as well as with cases from local practitioners, and Zoo and Aquarium collections, and works closely with our Research Emphasis Fellows in faculty and peer-mentored boards study, gross and histopathology practice, and journal clubs.
Stipend is commensurate with experience, starting at $62,132.00(USD).

Faculty

Our faculty includes 10 veterinarians with ACVP and/or ACLAM board certification plus additional PhD faculty. Research interests include virology, parasitology, neuropathology, immunology, oncology, cardiovascular disease, proteomics, RNA biology, rodent phenotyping and laboratory animal diseases. Research projects can involve faculty from more than 30 academic departments in Johns Hopkins Medicine.

 Qualifications

This track is for a veterinarian pursuing a career as an experimental pathologist, or as a veterinarian scientist in a research setting. Experience in research (e.g. PhD), and with molecular and digital techniques is a plus. US citizen or permanent resident preferred.

One-year fellowship, with the possibility of renewal for an additional year: candidates must be ACVP- or ECVP- board eligible, or recently boarded.

Three year fellowship: Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree, from an AVMA-accredited or AVMA-listed international veterinary school

Applications

Submit your curriculum vitae, documentation of veterinary degree from an AVMA-accredited or AVMA-listed veterinary school (and ACVP/ECVP board certification or eligibility, if applicable), three letters of recommendation, a letter of application describing your (i) professional background, interests and goals, (ii) pathology and research experience, and (iii) plan for professional development to Momina Malik, Academic Program Coordinator,
Johns Hopkins University, 733 N. Broadway, Suite 811, Baltimore, Maryland 21205,
phone 443-287-2953 or email all documents to dvmtraining@jhmi.edu.

Application review will begin October 7, 2024. For more information, visit our website at www.hopkinsmedicine.org/mcp.

About Johns Hopkins University Department of Molecular & Comparative Pathobiology

The Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine carries out the three-fold mission of research, teaching, and service through its expertise in veterinary medicine, pathology, and animal models of disease. Training of veterinary scientists in comparative medicine and comparative pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine began in the 1960s and continues today. Current faculty research areas include animal models of HIV/AIDS, cancer, degenerative CNS diseases, cardiovascular disease, developmental biology, hematology/immunology, and rickettsial, parasitic, and infectious diseases. Faculty, residents, and post-doctoral fellows share their expertise in veterinary pathology and animal models with other investigators in other departments and work to insure the health and welfare of laboratory animals at Johns Hopkins.
