TThe Paediatric MS and Neuroinflammation Program at The Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, has a Fellowship Program that provides excellent research and clinical training, as well as career mentorship. Fellowships are available for one to two years, with possible extension for a third year. There is one funded position per year; however, applicants with their own funding are also encouraged to apply.
Research in our program is specifically oriented towards the establishment of validated methodologies and interventions to ameliorate cognitive, motor, and psychological disability in this population, with a focus on lifestyle influences (diet and exercise) on MS outcomes. We also have a focus on structural imaging, particularly structural and functional visual outcomes.
This fellowship is directed towards neurologists and child neurologists interested in obtaining research training and experience in research in pediatric MS and neuroinflammatory disorders. Exceptional candidates who have obtained PhDs in kinesiology, clinical neuropsychology, or areas relevant to physical activity or outcomes research will also be strongly considered.
The intention of the fellowship is to provide the candidate with a strong background in research methods and the academic process with the ultimate goal for the fellow to solidify the tools needed to become an independent clinician and researcher.
Qualified applicants are encouraged to obtain funding to secure a spot in the fellowship program.
