The Multidisciplinary Postdoctoral Training Program in Basic Diabetes Research

[Santiago Schnell]

The Multidisciplinary Postdoctoral Training Program in Basic Diabetes Research provides an opportunity for postdoctoral fellows with a PhD to pursue training in diverse aspects of diabetes research. Training grant preceptors fall into major interest groups across a spectrum of type 1 and 2 diabetes research – mathematical modeling of diabetes and its complications, islet biology, autoimmune diabetes, adipocryte biology, neuronal regulation of metabolism, mechanisms of insulin resistance, metabolic control in liver and muscle, and diabetes complications – each area containing investigators pursuing basic research with potential translational applicability.

Laboratory training is supplemented by a core curriculum in molecular pathogenesis of diabetes, a series of educational seminars/classes and workshops on grant writing, career skills, and research methodologies.

Trainees must have a PhD or equivalent degrees and a desire for a career in diabetes research, no more than three years of postdoctoral training, and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Applicants will provide a research proposal, biosketch, and letter from mentor.

We are committed to developing and maintaining diversity in the ethnic, cultural, and gender backgrounds of our trainees. Click here for more information and to apply.
