  • Develop, modify, and implement innovative research techniques and protocols.
  • Analyze, interpret, summarize, and compile research data.
  • Perform both routine and complex laboratory procedures throughout the training phase.
  • Operate and maintain laboratory equipment and instruments.
  • Observe interactions between medical professionals and research subjects as they relate to ongoing research.

Qualifications

Education & Experience Requirements:

  • A Doctorate (MD, PhD, VMD, or DDS) in a field directly related to research specialization is required.
  • Acquisition of comprehensive technical and theoretical knowledge of the research project and objectives during a one to five (1-5) year post-doctoral appointment.
