Summer Veterinary Research Fellowships
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Division of Comparative Medicine at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a number of NIH funded openings for veterinary students who have an interest in pursuing research during the summer months. Research Fellows will participate in existing research projects in the laboratories of established investigators at Massachusetts Institute of Technology or collaborating institutions such as Harvard and Tufts. Research fellows will augment their understanding of animal based research by participating in clinical and laboratory rotations.

Research Fellows will receive a stipend of approximately $1,700 per month. While no research experience is required, applicants must have completed one year of veterinary school.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter, cv., veterinary school transcripts and two letters of recommendation to Dr. James G. Fox, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, 16-825, Cambridge, MA 02139.

We are flexible regarding the start and end dates. Ideally someone should try to spend a minimum of 4 weeks and not more than 12 weeks.

Applications should be submitted by April 1. Dr. Fox will accept applications until all the openings are filled.

Accepted candidates need to have a TB test prior to their arrival at MIT.

In the final week of their fellowship, Research Fellows are expected to give a presentation summarizing their research work. Examples of past research projects include:

There is limited housing available in a graduate dormitory at MIT that is available from early June through early August.
