Description of Duties:
We are seeking applications for a postdoctoral research fellow interested in conducting research on interventions that promote the careers of underrepresented individuals in the biomedical and health disparities research workforce. This postdoctoral fellow will also join a vibrant health equity research community supported by the Translational Program of Health Disparities Research Training (TRANSPORT) at SUNY Downstate. The TRANSPORT postdoctoral fellow receives salary support for a two-year period. In addition, this fellow may be eligible to receive support for their research and research-related expenses (e.g., travel, publications, and supplies). The second year of support is contingent upon successful achievement of milestones, and a progress report submitted after year one. At the conclusion of the two-year fellowship, it is expected that the fellow will have published peer-reviewed papers, generated pilot data, and established networks that will facilitate transition to career development awards and future independent funding.

The SUNY Downstate TRANSPORT-Postdoctoral Fellowship seeks to support post-graduate fellows who are from backgrounds that are underrepresented in biomedical research, and who are dedicated to developing a career in academic research.
