**Job Summary**

The Research Fellow position is housed within the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Michigan and is supported by a T32 Surgeon Scientist Training Grant through the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). This exciting program is designed to support research education for cardiac, thoracic, or general surgery residents. The program will offer laboratory and clinical/health services research training in pediatric or cardiac surgery. Our distinguished and extramurally funded preceptors' laboratories span the full translational continuum from basic mechanistic work through preclinical and clinical/health services research. Mentored research experiences will be complemented by appropriate formal education, with trainees having the opportunity to receive a Master of Science degree in Health Services. Our proposed Core Program will provide trainees with rigorous scientific and biostatical training and expanded knowledge beyond their oftentimes narrow research focus to ensure successful academic career progression. Laboratory-based research training follows a project-oriented approach with careful mentoring by trainee preceptors. Trainees will be selected competitively by the program's Research Committee.

This training program will be embedded within the rich research environment of the University of Michigan, including a highly collegial and interdisciplinary cardiovascular research community, excellent core resources for biomedical research, and strong resources for clinical and health services research. The latter includes a very strong School of Public Health, a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, and the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, the largest academic health services research program in the USA. Individual mentors will be responsible for 1) guiding their trainees in generating research proposals, 2) supervising trainee work, and 3) evaluating trainee performance. Additional mentoring will be provided to each trainee by a discipline-specific committees and general oversight by the Steering Committee. Prior trainees by mentors involved in this program have been extremely successful in proceeding to productive academic careers in both basic or clinical/health services research.
