University of Virginia Health System

Center for Research in Reproduction
Fellowship and Postdoctoral Training Program

The University of Virginia has developed an exceptionally strong environment for advanced training in the reproductive sciences. NIH-funded training positions are available for MD and PhD scientists who are interested in applying molecular, cellular, or physiological approaches to study reproductive processes in experimental models or man.

To be considered for the program, trainees must be U.S. citizens or hold a visa for permanent residence. Candidates must have fulfilled the requirements for either a PhD degree or a residency program leading to broad eligibility in a medical or surgical specialty at the time of appointment.

Fellows will be expected to participate in the academic programs of a basic science or clinical department within the Medical Center and to submit an application for an individual training appointment.

Applications may be submitted at any time and a complete application will contain the following:

• a current curriculum vitae
• reprints of no more than three representative publications
• three letters of reference
• transcripts
• GRE scores
• a short statement specifying interest in training with one or more of the Center's faculty preceptors
