The Johns Hopkins University Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology is pleased to offer Veterinary Scholars Program fellowships for veterinary students. This is a paid summer research fellowship for veterinary students who have completed their first or second year of veterinary school. Research Scholars will spend 12 weeks doing cutting edge translational research with faculty at our world-renowned biomedical research university.
Eligible host labs are led by proven mentors, and detailed information on research directions can be found on our webpage ( https://mcp.bs.jhmi.edu/people/) will be matched with a mentor based on your research interest.
The program starts May 19, 2025, and continues for 12 weeks. Veterinary Scholars Fellows will join a community of eight faculty members, other veterinary students, and sixteen veterinarian fellows with interest in research, laboratory animal medicine, and/or comparative pathology in the department. The program includes multiple organized professional development activities. Research Fellows are encouraged to take vacation before or after the fellowship dates, however there will be flexibility in the start date for students whose academic year ends later than May 19, 2025. This program provides a weekly stipend of approximately $566 through NIH support. Students will not be able to be a part of another NIH supported program simultaneously while being supported by Johns Hopkins University NIH support.
