Postdoctoral Opportunities
 
   
Postdoctoral opportunities all walks of science, basic, translational and clinical, are available in my laboratory. In additional to participating in creative, independent research projects within our focus, I look to postdoctoral fellows as new mentors to the other students in the laboratory. As with Graduate
 
Opportunities, finding the appropriate mentor and the training, dedication and research fit of the fellow into our group are important. These positions are available depending on the funding level in the laboratory at that time.

The University of Missouri (MU) Comparative Medicine Program provides advanced graduate training to veterinarians who wish to pursue careers in comparative medicine.  These “postdoctoral” trainees may combine one year of residency training in clinical, administrative and diagnostic laboratory animal medicine with two or more years of research training.  Alternatively, trainees with experience in laboratory animal medicine, comparative pathology or related disciplines may begin research training at the time of admission.  Training is designed to prepare individuals for a variety of careers including comparative medicine research, clinical and administrative laboratory animal medicineand comparative and diagnostic
 
laboratory animal pathology.  Students may either pursue an MS or PhD. I serve as a mentor in this program and have had wonderful experiences when these “postdoctoral” trainees are a part of our team.  More information about this program is aailable at http://www.radil.missouri.edu/info/cmp/  

Resident Physicians are a welcomed addition to our team. They bring a clinical perspective to our work and help in our translation of our research into clinical trials. Typically our Resident Physicians will select a manageable portion of our ongoing research projects for their focus. While the primary Residents who have worked in my laboratory are from our department, resident physicians from any department are welcome. Typically there is no stipend with this work, but supplies and opportunities to learn are available.  We will also help anyone apply for external funding for their projects in our laboratory.
