Job Summary
The Division of Otolaryngology at the University of Utah is offering a one-year research fellowship in pediatric otolaryngology. The fellowship allows medical students and new physicians who are interested in surgery or pediatric otolaryngology a year-long opportunity to work on innovative research projects within our division. The successful Fellow will be expected to organize and carry out multiple clinical and basic science research projects throughout the year with the goal to present these findings at national meetings and be a co-author in several peer-reviewed publications. The emphasis of the research fellowship is in pediatric otolaryngology, and cytomegalovirus related hearing loss. The fellowship director, Dr. Albert Park MD, is the section chief for pediatric otolaryngology at the University of Utah, has a very busy clinical practice and an NIH funded research program. This fellowship is ideally suited to students interested in a research year during medical school, unmatched students, preliminary surgical interns, or residents in other specialties who are interested in training in Otolaryngology.
Our fellowship is funded for one year. Work hours vary, but the fellow is expected to work full time, Monday through Friday and most Saturdays throughout the one year period. Applicants are selected based on research experience and medical school performance. Please contact Dr. Park (albert.park@hsc.utah.edu) with any questions or to apply. A cover letter, 3 references and current CV are required.
Responsibilities
The fellow’s responsibilities include submission of IRB applications, monitoring of clinical and mouse laboratory studies in progress, data collection (either through retrospective review of charts, surveys or prospective interactions with patients), data analysis and interpretation, manuscript preparation and submission, and presentation of the data at regional and/or national meetings. The Fellow will attend the Western Section of the Triological Society, and/or the Annual Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings depending upon the status of his or her current research, and other meetings relevant to the fellow’s goals and research productivity (e.g. International CMV meeting or the CMV Public Policy Conference). The fellow is also encouraged to participate in the Division of Otolaryngology’s educational activities and will be expected to participate in our weekly research meetings.
We feel that this fellowship is a great opportunity for individuals who are interested in extending their medical school to explore basic and clinical research or for those seeking to improve their chances to match into otolaryngology. We encourage fellows to start early as possible in their research year so that they have mature projects going into the interview period. March and April are good months to think about starting the fellowship. We are flexible in allowing fellows to interview in the fall and winter for otolaryngology and other residency spots. The salary for the fellowship is about equivalent to that of a PGY1 resident. In addition, health insurance can be provided.
