The Department of Dermatology at the University Of Connecticut School Of Medicine is currently accepting applications for a research fellow for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Description:
The clinical trials research fellowship at UConn Health Dermatology is a 1-2 year paid research opportunity under the direction of Jun Lu, MD, the director of the Clinical Trials unit.

Fellows are expected to operate with significant independence, and become well-versed in all aspects of executing clinical trials.
