The Disease Investigations group at San Diego zoo Conservation Science has an opening for the Jane and Marshall Steel Fellowship. The available position is a 1-year, full-time fellowship open to veterinary anatomic pathologists interested in gaining diagnostic experience in non-domestic species, as well as to researchers seeking post-doctoral opportunities in conservation science.
Fellows will be a part of a team of veterinary pathologists and researchers with expertise in epidemiology, infectious diseases, toxicology, and molecular biology.
Diagnostic Pathology Fellows Qualifications:
- DVM or equivalent degree
- At least two years of formal pathology residency training from a qualifying program
- ACVP certification is preferred
The fellowship offers unique opportunities for development of diagnostic skills in anatomic and clinical pathology of nondomestic species.
