Northwell Health is seeking a Full-Time Advanced Lung Disease and Transplantation Clinical Research Fellow to join our Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery and the Department of Medicine.

Our researchers and departments are best suited to manage this research fellowship. The Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital is the first and only full-service destination for Cardiac and Lung Transplantation in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and across all Northwell locations.

Equally, the Department of Medicine investigators are prolific and well-published in peer-review journals and have presented at top national and international scientific meetings. Endowment to this fellowship will support a wide range of ongoing and new clinical research to examine important topics such as the pathophysiology of transplanted lungs, clinical risk factors, current clinical practice in the management of the advanced lung failure, drug and device therapies, patient experience, and short- and long-term outcomes after lung transplant.
