NEUROINFECTIOUS DISEASES & GLOBAL NEUROLOGY FELLOWSHIP POSITION IN INTERNATIONAL HIV CURE RESEARCH
The INHCC is a research collaboration directed by Serena Spudich, MD (Yale University), and Sandhya Vasan, MD (US Military HIV Research Program) with investigators based at multiple sites in the USA, operating numerous neurological and infectious diseases research studies related to acute HIV infection and cure strategies in Thailand and Africa. Our mission is to provide cutting-edge investigation and expertise in central nervous system (CNS) aspects of HIV infection relevant to pathogenesis, treatment, and HIV remission, or 'cure.' The primary protocol, operating in Thailand, has enrolled over 600 study participants since its inception in 2009. Currently, active protocols enroll people with HIV within the first month of HIV exposure.
We are seeking a board-certified or board-eligible physician to conduct research, for at least six months, based in Bangkok, Thailand, with additional fellowship training experience at Yale or from a remote location with capability to easily work with Yale staff.
The 12-month fellowship position, offered through Yale University’s Neurology Department and in collaboration with the INHCC, will involve providing at least 6 months of primary hands-on neurological expertise at our research site in Bangkok, Thailand, including conducting neurological evaluation of subjects and completing medical evaluations and lumbar punctures, while developing an individual research portfolio. It is expected that the incumbent will actively participate in manuscript preparation and direct analyses for publication as lead author.
The fellowship program leaders have extensive experience as career and research mentors and will provide guidance and assistance in data analysis and preparation of presentations and manuscripts, as well as in independent fellowship and grant applications. Opportunities exist to extend the commitment, based on funds availability and productivity. It is also possible to combine this position with a two-year T32-funded neurology clinical research fellowship training program based at Yale.
