Post
Doctoral Fellowship
The Institute provides for post-doctoral fellowship training of Ph.D. or D.V.M. graduates who are oriented to academic careers in clinical and experimental physiology, pharmacology, and/or biomedical engineering. Major research efforts include cardiopulmonary resuscitation, heart failure, circulatory shock due to hemorrhagic sepsis, anaphylaxis, or cardiac cause and the cellular biology and the pharmacology pertinent to its management. Extending our research and clinical studies from conventional hemodynamic measurements to real-time studies of the microcirculation, we pair anatomical and metabolic markers of tissue hypoxia. Engineering priorities include software development for improved diagnosis and prompting of life-saving interventions, automation of devices for external defibrillation, ventilation, chest compression, fluid administration, and delivery of medications. Biomedical Engineering programs are directed by Professor Joe Bisera at jbisera@weiliccm.org and Post-Doctoral Medical, Physiology and Veterinary fellowships by Professor Wanchun Tang, MD, at wtang@weiliccm.org. Medical Research Fellowship
Since 1960, trainees have been recruited who have become leaders in either or both clinical and research pertinent to critical care medicine. On their return to their home institutions, they are armed with experience and knowledge with which to direct independent clinical and research programs in academic medical centers. Minimal qualifications include MD or DVM degree with a basic post graduate in clinical training, a major specialty pertinent to critical care medicine including cardiology, critical care medicine, anesthesiology or surgery. The Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine provides a two-year fellowship position for a specialist sponsored by the Taiwan Society of Critical Care Medicine. The Sarner Research Fellowship, is awarded by our Trustee, Lori Sarner, and her Advisory Board Member husband. Preference for fellowship appointment is given to candidates who receive partial or total support from their home institutions or governments. Stipends range from $24,000 to $38,000
per annum, contingent on the candidates' qualifications and
post-doctoral training. More than 250 Fellows have been trained in
the Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine programs since 1959. The Fellows work side-by-side with
internationally renowned leaders in critical care medicine,
resuscitation, and the basic sciences and biomedical engineering
pertinent to those disciplines. Biomedical Engineering Fellowship The Biomedical Engineering Fellowship Program provides opportunity to translate biomedical discoveries to practice and to expand capabilities for life saving medical interventions. Biomedical Engineering fellows develop concepts and utilize techniques that range from biology, chemistry and physics to engineering sciences including information applications to improve instrumentation for measurement and devices to improve critical care monitoring and treatment together with the software (intelligence for their operation). Engineering Research Fellows share offices and join together and the bench and in the animal laboratories with Medical Research Fellows. They have joint seminars and project meetings and share authorship on peer reviewed papers. Minimal qualifications include a Master of Science degree with a major in engineering or physics from a fully accredited engineering college. Preference will be given to candidates who have completed an accredited program in biomedical engineering in approved university programs. Annual stipends supplement personal grants preferably from home institution up to $32,000 annually.
1. A detailed Curriculum Vitae inclusive
of all educational, professional, family
and avocational activities with
inclusive dates, institutional affiliates, facility
supervisors or
responsible professor, degrees awarded and honors received 2. The candidate is asked to write a letter defining the candidate’s career goals, and the extent to which these goals may be fulfilled by appointment to fellowship, and the extent of which these goals may be supported by his/her home institution. The policy of the Institute is to encourage but not require return of the fellow to his home institution on completion of training. 3. Five professional references are required, including current sponsor, professor, Chief of Services, or senior supervisor. Please indicate relationship, name, title, full address and email/ fax if available. 4. For
foreign applicants, evidence of reasonable fluency in writing the
English language.
