The TL1 Postdoctoral Program in Clinical Research and Medical Informatics is a National Research Service Award (NRSA) funded training program comprising participating degree programs at the University of Chicago and Rush University. The program will prepare postdoctoral trainees with clinical (MD, DNP, PharmD, DMD/DDS, etc.) or research degrees (PhD) for careers as independent and collaborative translational researchers with a focus on clinical research and medical informatics. Applicants from any participating Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM) institution are welcome to apply.
We are accepting applications from:
- MD clinical fellows or other doctoral level professional degree candidates based at an ITM institution who are interested in additional research training
- PhD recipients committed to careers in clinical or translational research
Accepted fellows will receive a stipend, funding for one of the approved master's degrees, funding for health insurance, and funds for conferences and other training related expenses. Because the TL1 award is currently undergoing its five year renewal process, funding for new fellows can only be guaranteed for one year at this time. Pending successful renewal of the TL1, fellow may be eligible for a second year of funding.
Applications will start being reviewed in January 2021 and will continue being accepted until all positions are filled. You may contact Kelsey Bogue to confirm if there are still positions available before you apply. Candidates must submit their materials through the online form found here.
