The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston) is currently seeking postdoctoral candidates for a National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)-funded T32 trauma research fellowship in the following research areas: traumatic brain injury, resuscitation (including hemorrhagic shock), burn, trauma-induced coagulopathy and cellular therapies. These are two year fellowships devoted to clinical or translational research. The goal of this comprehensive program is to provide mentorship as well as didactic and practical training in clinical and translational research, resulting in significant contributions to the care of traumatically-injured patients and future academic independence.

The position requires an MD, DO, or PhD and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. There are 1-3 positions available per year. The application deadline is March 1.
