Description
The Madrid-MIT M+Vision Consortium is seeking exceptional emerging talent for the M+Visión Fellowship in Translational Biomedical Imaging. The experience is multidisciplinary, flexible, and focused on important problems, with research projects formulated by the Fellows. Fellowship begins July 1, 2012. Applications due January 16, 2012. For more detail about the Fellowship, please visit the Fellowship page
The M+Visión Fellowship in Translational Biomedical Imaging is a central pillar of the Consortium’s vision. A cohort of ten Fellows, exceptional talent from all over the world—engineers, physicians, scientists, and entrepreneurs who see the promise of biomedical imaging—will engage in structured learning experiences for one summer in Madrid, followed by a few months in Boston developing a research direction. After this initial development period, Fellows will conduct research projects—up to two years total duration—with the potential for global effect, using their Consortium network of academic, medical, industry and public leaders as mentors and springboards. Apply for the 2012 M+Visión Fellowship.
After their immersion in an environment promoting innovation and translation to practice, M+Visión Fellows will have new skills and perspectives in biomedical imaging, and strong relationships with academic and industry imaging leaders. They will be well positioned to continue their research in Madrid or elsewhere; start a new venture; attain a position in a university, medical, or research center; or join a pharmaceutical, imaging technology, biotech, or biomedical device firm. Ideally, each will be motivated to lead the development of biomedical imaging enterprises in Madrid.
