We are seeking exceptional candidates from all disciplines with expertise in any of the following research areas: Cancer, Cardiovascular, and Brain, Mind, and Behavior.
Women in Medicine
Women make up over half of our medical students and trainees; lead over $200 million in funded research and represent over 100 senior leaders at Feinberg. Learn more about the contribution of women at our medical school: those trailblazers of the past; the chairs, chiefs and investigators of today; and the trainees and students who are developing into medicine’s future leaders.
