Postdoctoral Position Available http://www.umassmed.edu/pathology/fellowship/ One position is available in July 2009 for an ACGME-accredited one-year Cytopathology Fellowship. The Fellowship is unique in integrating Cell Biology concepts related to Cytopathology, and offering basic research opportunities directly related to Cell Biology and Cytopathology into the year. Candidates must be AP or AP/CP eligible, and preference will be given to candidates interested in participating in ongoing research relating to the molecular basis of diagnostic morphologic cellular changes in cancer.  The full curriculum includes a strong foundation in classical morphologic diagnosis (55,000 GYN, 8000 non-GYN per year), FNA performance and interpretation (total 2000 FNA's per year), integration of Molecular Pathology and flow cytometry, cytopreparatory methods, and laboratory management.  Stipend is determined by years of post-graduate experience.
