• Present research findings at national and international scientific meetings.
• Participate in NIH grant preparation, annual progress reports, and future funding applications.
• Mentor medical students, graduate students, and junior research trainees.
  Clinical Cardiac Imaging Training
  In addition to research activities, fellows will spend approximately two days per week participating in structured clinical training within the Mount Sinai Cardiac Imaging Program under the leadership of Dr. Stamatios Lerakis.
  Clinical responsibilities include supervised interpretation of:
• Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR)
• Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT)
• Transthoracic and Transesophageal Echocardiography
• Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac PET Imaging
  The clinical component is fully integrated with the research program and provides comprehensive exposure to multimodality cardiovascular imaging. For eligible physician trainees, this experience fulfills the requirements for an Advanced Cardiac Imaging Fellowship, while maintaining protected time for NIH-funded translational research.
  Research Environment
  The fellow will become an integral member of the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII), one of the nation's premier cardiovascular imaging research centers.
  The research environment includes access to:
• State-of-the-art PET/MR, cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiology facilities
• Large prospective cardiovascular imaging registries
• Advanced quantitative image analysis software and computational resources
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning collaborations
• Biomedical engineering expertise
• NIH-funded multidisciplinary translational research programs
  The fellow will collaborate closely with investigators in Cardiovascular Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Electrophysiology, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Biostatistics within the Mount Sinai Health System.

Qualifications
Qualifications
Applicants should possess one of the following:

• MD or MD/PhD with training or strong interest in cardiovascular medicine, cardiac imaging, electrophysiology, heart failure, or related disciplines
• PhD in biomedical engineering, imaging sciences, biomedical physics, computer science, or another quantitative discipline with experience in cardiovascular imaging
  Preferred qualifications include:
• Prior experience in cardiac MRI, PET, echocardiography, cardiac CT, or multimodality cardiovascular imaging
• Experience with quantitative image analysis and image processing
• Familiarity with Python, MATLAB, R, FSL, SPM, or similar computational software
• Strong scientific writing and communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively within multidisciplinary research teams
  Career Development
  This fellowship is specifically designed to prepare fellows for careers as independent academic investigators and leaders in cardiovascular imaging.
  Fellows will benefit from:
• Protected research time within an NIH-funded laboratory
• Structured mentorship from internationally recognized faculty in cardiovascular imaging and translational research
• Clinical training in multimodality cardiovascular imaging under the leadership of Dr. Stamatios Lerakis
• Opportunities to publish first-author manuscripts in leading cardiovascular journals
• Participation in NIH grant development and career development award applications
• Presentation of research at national and international scientific meetings
• Mentoring experience with medical students, graduate students, and junior trainees
  The initial appointment is for a minimum of two years, with the possibility of extension based on performance and available funding.
