The Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh has a two-year VascTrain post-doctoral research program to support basic science or clinical research training as part of a career in academic vascular surgery. Basic science trainees will start with an introduction to basic/translational research methods followed by a mentored research experience. Those interested in clinical research will take coursework designed for outcomes, population based, and translational research with the option to obtain a Masters degree. This will be followed by mentored research.
Trainees must be MD or MD/PhD with interests in academic vascular surgery. Trainees with a PhD must demonstrate a strong interest in vascular biology.
The VascTrain program is supported by an NIH training grant for the training of academic vascular surgeon-scientists. The focus areas in basic research include endothelial biology, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide vascular therapy, angiogenesis, wound healing, bioengineering of vascular grafts, aortic aneurysm modeling, and innate immunity. For those interested in clinical research, the emphasis will be placed on translational skills, comparative effectiveness, and population based analyses. These trainees will benefit from degree and nondegree programs through our Institute of Clinical Research Education.

Harvard-Longwood Research Training in Vascular Surgery
This training program, the Harvard-Longwood Research Training in Vascular Surgery program, currently in its 18th year is designed to provide two years of intense basic and outcomes research training in vascular surgery for academic clinicians.
Trainees carry out their research projects under the guidance of a faculty advisor, selected from 20 renowned vascular researchers based at four Harvard Medical School hospitals: the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's, Children's Hospital, the Joslin Diabetes Institute and The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Laboratory training is supplemented by graduate level training at Harvard Medical School and Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, with course selection complementing laboratory endeavors.
Applicants should be USA citizens or permanent residents who are resident physicians, and have completed either two or three years of surgical residency or five years of clinical training (i.e. are board eligible). Only those applicants with career goals in academic surgery, with a keen interest in basic research in vascular surgery, will be compatible. Candidates pursuing a fellowship during a program of clinical training must provide evidence that they will be accepted back into that program upon completion of their research training.
Selection is based on merit only, without bias to gender, race, color, or ethnic origin.
SUPPORT:
NIH Stipend, benefits, and academic appointment at Harvard Medical School as a Research Fellow.
Application deadline: April 15, 2012. Program start: July 1, 2012
