Pulmonary & Critical Care Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

The goal of the Pulmonary & Critical Care Postdoctoral Research Program at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is to help doctoral graduates acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct independent research and become successful academic scientists or physician-scientists. Postdoctoral fellows will ultimately be able to independently generate a hypothesis and then design and conduct experiments to test the hypothesis under the mentorship of our faculty.

This Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is typically a three-year commitment but can take more or less time depending on your specific experience and education. 

For more information or to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship, please email your CV and a cover letter outlining your research goals and interests to pulmonary@northwestern.edu.
