UC San Diego Dermatology is offering a non-ACGME accredited research fellowship opportunity for a highly motivated individual interested in clinical and translational research starting June/July 2021. This is a 2-year position, though a one-year commitment may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The fellow will gain experience in conducting clinical trials in dermatology under the mentorship of Dr. Tissa Hata, Director of the UC San Diego Dermatology Clinical Trials Unit, and Dr. Richard Gallo. Projects cover many areas, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne. The fellow will also have the opportunity to design and conduct studies of their own and to participate in novel research on the skin microbiome.
The candidate should possess a strong interest in inflammatory skin diseases, immunology, and the skin microbiome, be a proactive team-player with keen attention to organizational detail, and possess robust writing and communication skills. The candidate will have numerous opportunities to write and publish during this experience, and is expected to attend investigator meetings, present original research results at regional and national meetings, and publish their findings when appropriate.
Required Qualifications:
• The ideal candidate will be interested in an academic career in dermatology
• Prior experience with clinical research strongly preferred
Please send the following required application materials to [email protected]:
• Curriculum vitae, exam transcripts
• Cover letter
• Writing example (i.e. published lead-author manuscript, thesis, or other academic publication)
• Names of two references, including at least one research mentor
