The Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine T32 focused on the Multidisciplinary Approach Training in Respiratory Research is in the second year of the renewal and we have an unanticipated opening and are in the process of identifying a trainee candidate for the 2024/2025 academic year (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025). The program will be accepting applications on a rolling basis until the slot is filled. Trainee appointments are for two years, with the opportunity to apply for a third year at the end of the second year. If you know a potential candidate, we encourage an application. M.D., Ph.D., D.O., DVM postdoctoral fellows who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled in a research or clinical doctoral or postdoctoral program are encouraged to apply. The T32 program is committed to identifying and supporting individuals from underrepresented groups, including racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQIA+, individuals with disabilities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
These trainee appointments will be funded at the respective NIH PGY level, according to NRSA stipend funding levels, and trainee related expenses. Any additional trainee expenses will need to be covered by the home Department or lab and must be from a non-federal source.
There are at least two ways in which you might identify an applicant:
You already know an applicant, for example someone currently in your lab.
You establish contact with an applicant outside your lab and this applicant would like to join your lab.
The application has three parts. Please have the applicants send the below to Michelle LoPiccolo (mil2053@med.cornell.edu)
One page research proposal (plus one page of references)
One page career statement
NIH Biosketch
Applications should be submitted as a single pdf file using the naming convention: PI LASTNAME_DIVISION_T32.pdf
The Program Directors will review applications, and send out notices on a rolling basis, prioritizing a quick turnaround.
We have had great success with the training program to date, and we are excited to continue this important program with additional excellent candidates.
The program directors are available to discuss potential applicants and the process with you. Please reach out to us with any questions.
