Prerequisites: PhD, MD, or MD/PhD
PhD applicants must have earned their doctoral degree in chemistry, biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, toxicology, cell biology, or other basic science degree from an accredited university.
All applicants must meet the minimum 30 credit hours (or the equivalent) in undergraduate- or graduate-level chemistry or biochemistry courses in order to qualify for the ABCC Board examination.
How to apply
The application packet must include:
- Letter of interest detailing why you are interested in pursuing a career in clinical chemistry
- Curriculum vitae
- Three letters of recommendation, one of which must be from your current direct supervisor, emailed directly to chemistryfellowship@hitchcock.org
If you are unable to provide a letter from your current direct supervisor, please address this in your cover letter and arrange an additional letter from someone at your current workplace who is not a peer or subordinate.
Applicants accepted for on-site interview must be able to provide official transcripts that demonstrate completion of 30 credit hours in chemistry. Applicants who completed their degrees in countries outside of Canada or the United States of America must also have documentation from an appropriate independent credentialing agency that certifies that the degree and credit hours are equivalent to those that would be obtained in Canada or the U.S.
Deadline
Applications are accepted beginning in June the year before the July start date. In agreement with other clinical chemistry fellowship programs, we will begin on-site interviews no earlier than September 1, and no official offers will be extended before October 1. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled.
