The Madrid-MIT M+Visión Fellowship in Translational Biomedical Imaging

The Madrid-MIT M+Vision Consortium, a new multi-institutional venture in translational biomedical imaging, is seeking exceptional emerging talent from all over the world for the M+Vision Fellowship. The Fellowship leverages the resources of two great research communities, Madrid and Boston, for an experience that is:

+      Multidisciplinary: You will work with other Fellows and faculty from science, engineering, medicine, and business.

+      Flexible: The Fellowship offers stipend support, research funds, and lab choices throughout Madrid and Boston to enable maximum flexibility in project choice.

+      Focused on important problems: Your ideas and projects will evolve in response to major medical needs.

+      Designed by you: Fellows work individually and in groups to define and develop multidisciplinary projects, mentored by world leaders.

Program components include: short courses in medicine, imaging technology, and business; a lecture series by world-renowned leaders in imaging science; rotations in clinical departments; and idea generation mentorship. You will receive a generous stipend and travel expenses to cover a summer of structured learning experiences in Madrid, followed by a semester in Boston developing a research direction, and the launch of a research project (1-2 years in duration or longer) that shows the potential for global impact.

During the Fellowship, you and other Fellows from all areas of biomedical imaging will be immersed in a community that accelerates cutting-edge research in imaging, translates it from bench to bedside, and establishes new enterprises to strengthen Madrid’s position as a global biomedical research center. Your network will also include over 70 world-renowned professional researchers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from Madrid, Boston, and many other innovation-rich regions. You’ll be challenged to shape your own experience…and the future of biomedical imaging.

After the Fellowship, you will have new skills and perspectives in biomedical imaging, and strong relationships with academic and industry imaging leaders. You will be well positioned to continue your work in Madrid or elsewhere; to start a new venture; to attain a position in a university, medical, or research center; or to join a pharmaceutical, imaging technology, biotech, or biomedical devicefirm.

To be considered, you must have an MD, PhD, or 5+ years of work past a Bachelor’s degree; experience in some aspect of biomedical imaging; and fluency in English.
