Medical College of Wisconsin Dermatology Research Fellowships

Collaboration Table 2F 3M

The Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Dermatology invites applications for Clinical Research Fellowships. In a typical year, we have one predoctoral fellow (rising third- or fourth-year medical student) and one postdoctoral fellow (MD graduate).

Research fellows are important members of the research team consisting of faculty, clinical fellows, residents, and research coordinators. Fellows will gain valuable experience with publications, posters, oral presentations, and grant applications. In addition, fellows are actively involved in study design, subject enrollment, and regulatory management. Opportunities to observe in dermatology clinic are offered throughout the year.

We will be accepting predoctoral and postdoctoral research fellowship applications for the 2026-2027 year between November 15, 2025-January 1, 2026. Interested applicants should email their application between those dates though applicants are welcome to reach out even after January 1 to inquire if the positions are still available.
