Here's a report from Michael Lawlor, MD, PhD summarizing the job opening updates that came out of last weekend's AANP annual meeting in Chicago. I have updated the job listings on this site to reflect Dr. Lawlor's up-to-date information:
Hi Everyone,
 |
| Dr. Mike Lawlor |
1.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital: Their search for
applicants is currently closed.
2.
Case Western Reserve University: Mark Cohen spoke about this position for a
few minutes, which sounds like an excellent opportunity for a research-oriented
neuropathologist that wants to spend a minority of their time on clinical
work. I would highly recommend
contacting Mark to discuss this position, if you’re in the market for a job.
3.
Mayo Clinic, Stanford University, and UCSF:
These positions remain open, but these institutions are each looking for an experienced
neuropathologist who would immediately be able to take on a considerable
clinical load.
6. University of Chicago: This position remains open, and I think that
the link fell off the blog site for a short time (or I missed it). It looks like it’s back up now, and Peter
Pytel confirmed that they’re still looking for people.
7.
University of Manitoba: This position remains
open, and Marc del Bigio was able to provide me with some information on
it. This information can all be found on
the link to this position, so I won’t repeat it.
8.
University of Wisconsin - Madison: There had previously been two postings on the
blog site, which turned out to be two different “flavors” of descriptions for
the same job. There is one job open at
UW-Madison and they have interviewed several promising candidates, but the job
currently remains open.
9.
University of Calgary- This job had previously
been posted here on the website, but it looks like it has disappeared over the
past few months. The job actually
remains open, though, and Jim Wright and Jeff Joseph sent me a lot of
information on it. It looks like the job
could involve a combination of clinical, teaching, and research
opportunities. Researchers could either
develop their own program or fit into their collaborative neuroscience
community, and preference will be given to applicants with interests in
neurodegenerative diseases, neuromuscular diseases, inflammatory diseases, or
developmental brain disorders. Jeff
Joseph also sent a beautiful picture taken from his backyard to show off some
of the scenery of Calgary, and it definitely looks like a breathtaking
area. For more information, feel free to
contact Jeff Joseph (jtjoseph@ucalgary.ca)
or Jim Wright (jim.wright@cls.ab.ca).
Two additional notes that might be
useful to people:
1.
One
speaker from the pharmaceutical community mentioned that a lot of
biotech/pharmaceutical industry jobs for pathologists are actually posted on
veterinary pathology websites. If you’re
interested in pursuing such a position, you may want to widen your search to these sites.
2.
I talked briefly about the NIH Loan Repayment
Program, which provides student loan repayment for projects on which the
investigator spends >50% effort on the project. These are one or two year grants, and the
submission process is very reasonable.
For anyone that has student loans, I’d encourage you to check these
awards out at their website and contact them for more details. This is a wonderful program and the people
involved in it are extremely supportive and responsive.
Good luck to everyone!
-Mike Lawlor
Thank you, Mike. And if anyone in the neuropathology community has further updates on the job listings (additions, deletions, etc.), please let me know and I'll make the necessary changes.
