  • Neuro-Oncological Imaging Fellowship

    St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 4.0company rating

    Fellow Job 9 miles from Marion

    Join our Pediatric Neuro-Oncological Imaging Fellowship for an unparalleled opportunity to advance your expertise in neuroradiology. This second-year fellowship, following a year of ACGME-accredited training, spans up to 12 months and is uniquely tailored for an intimate learning experience granted to only one fellow per term. Under the mentorship of experienced St. Jude faculty, fellows will receive comprehensive training in pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors, as well as spinal, head, and neck tumors. The curriculum emphasizes mastery of tumor-specific imaging protocols, proficiency in various response assessment criteria such as RANO, RAPNO, and COG, and the integration of molecular tumor markers for sophisticated imaging interpretations. A significant portion of the program - up to half its duration - is dedicated to clinical and translational research, which provides a robust foundation for fellows to meaningfully contribute to the field. This fellowship is crafted to refine your skills and propel you to the forefront of neuro-oncological imaging excellence. Image processing and analysis The Image Processing and Data Science Resources (IPDSR) allows for true bench-to-clinic research with highly trained PhDs, advanced imaging scientists, and post processing technologists using dedicated research imaging equipment. Patient care Fellows will learn which imaging techniques are necessary for the thorough evaluation of specific tumor types within clinical contexts. They will then select the appropriate imaging protocols, all while under the supervision of an attending neuroradiologist. The program will cover the fundamental principles of advanced MR imaging post-processing techniques, such as MR spectroscopy, perfusion MRI and diffusion tensor imaging. Beginning with didactic instruction, the fellowship will progress to practical, hands-on application, with fellows eventually conducting post-processing under the guidance of an attending neuroradiologist as they develop their proficiency. Fellows will also be integral to the performance and interpretation of CT and MRI studies and will consult with clinical staff. They are responsible for drafting preliminary reports, which will be refined and finalized by the attending neuroradiologist. Throughout the fellowship, as trainees deepen their expertise in scholarly research and the practical use of advanced imaging techniques for radiology-pathology correlations, their range of responsibilities will expand. This will include presenting at multidisciplinary tumor boards. During the fellowship, fellows will develop and execute their own research initiatives under the guidance of St. Jude faculty, with the aim of presenting their work and contributing a scholarly article. Eligibility US Applicants Candidates must have successfully completed a Diagnostic Radiology residency program accredited by the ACGME, followed by a one-year fellowship in Diagnostic Neuroradiology. They should either be certified by the American Board of Radiology or eligible for certification. Furthermore, all candidates must be eligible to receive a valid permit or license from the Tennessee Medical Board. International applicants International applicants must have completed a neuroradiology fellowship or equivalent from a well-recognized medical institution, be board-certified in their home country; have an ECFMG certification and be eligible for an appropriate visa. Applications are meticulously reviewed by the neuroradiology imaging program director in collaboration with departmental faculty. Selection for interviews is based on the strength of the candidates' credentials and recommendation letters. Interviews are conducted over a half-day session, involving the participation of departmental staff. The opportunity will provide candidates the chance to engage with both faculty and current fellows. Virtual interviews might be considered for international applicants. Final fellow selections are determined through collaborative discussions among all departmental staff members.

Our community is filled with the people, knowledge, and resources to actualize endless possibilities for all children to thrive. Our education system is becoming increasingly disconnected from our communities and children. Existing approaches to solving regional problems are not yielding the results we need. It's time to chart a new path forward. The Opportunity Trust is putting plans into action by bringing new resources, insights, and support to individuals and organizations that are already effecting change, launching new initiatives when needed, and fostering collaboration across the region toward shared goals.

The USFWS has provided funding to implement two Recovery Plan Actions : refine and implement technologies for propagating the Louisiana pinesnake in captivity, and to assist with efforts to transmit genetic material between wild and captive populations to increase the genetic variability of the captive population, which is based on relatively few founders. The purpose of the Post-Doctoral Fellowship is to broaden the Memphis Zoo's progress towards its top-tier wildlife conservation priorities. The Fellow's responsibility is to develop new research projects and nurture existing conservation-oriented partnerships within the current framework of funded USFWS Recovery Grant Proposal objectives- that include activities in physiology, molecular, disease, and field ecology research techniques to foster and improve Louisiana pinesnake population recovery in the wild.

The Fellow will also support ongoing disease monitoring and molecular testing of Snake Fungal Disease (SFD) and Cryptosporidium that threaten snake health; genetic research developing genomic lineage data of the captive assurance colony and wild populations; and reproductive research using assisted reproductive technologies to infuse wild genetics into the captive population. The zoo population of pinesnakes, held by four facilities including the Memphis Zoo, will be used to develop and test new techniques, which will then be applied in the field.
