Training Program in Rheumatic Diseases Research

This training program provides rigorous training of competent and highly motivated M.D. and Ph.D graduates who are committed to careers in training and research. Research opportunities are available in cellular and molecular immunology; structure and function of immunoglobulins; transgenic models of immune function; transplantation immunology; neuroimmunology; and genetic variation of immune response genes and the impact on immune system function, including the predisposition to autoimmune and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and the characteristics of host responses to infectious agents. Both human and non-human model systems form the basis of the study.

Postdoctoral trainees with an M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree are selected on the basis of prior academic and research performance, letters of recommendation, and personal interviews. Successful candidates will demonstrate strong commitment to a research and teaching career. Applicants must be citizens or noncitizen nationals of the USA or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
