This paid full-time one-year fellowship (starting July 1) is designed to engage the trainee in clinical and translational research in melanoma, working with Doug Grossman, MD, PhD and his colleagues in the Department of Dermatology and the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Applications are accepted between January 1 and May 15 of the year of entry into the fellowship, which typically starts in June or July and runs for 12 months.
