[Bill Hersh]

Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is seeking qualified applicants for it pre-doctoral and post-doctoral research training fellowship program in biomedical informatics. Support for the program comes from the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Kaiser-Permanente, and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). By providing a structured research experience, with the option of course work and/or pursuit of a degree, the program prepares fellows to enter the academic community and undertake programs of independent biomedical informatics research, or to take leadership positions in the growing number of hospital and/or commercial efforts in biomedical informatics.

Fellowship opportunities including the following:

NLM - Pre and post-doctoral opportunities are available. The pre-doctoral positions are open to any qualified individual with a bachelor's degree or higher, with the fellow expected to pursue a doctoral degree. The post-doctoral positions are open to any qualified individual with a doctoral degree. The fellow is expected to pursue a research project and is strongly encouraged to also pursue a master's degree in biomedical informatics at OHSU.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs - The position is open to an M.D. and has a clinical practice component. The fellow is expected to work on a project with the VA's advanced clinical information system and is strongly encouraged to also pursue a master's degree in biomedical informatics at OHSU.

Kaiser-Permanente - This position is open to an M.D. and has a clinical practice component. The fellow is expected to work on a project with Kaiser-Permanente's advanced clinical information systems and pursue coursework at OHSU.

NIDCR - Pre and post-doctoral opportunities are available. Our goal is to prepare the fellow/trainee to enter the academic community and become an independent researcher, or to take leadership positions in the growing number academic and/or commercial efforts in oral health informatics.
