Interdisciplinary Training Program in Cancer Research

Postdoctoral positions are available from an NCI-sponsored Interdisciplinary Cancer Training Grant for PhD, MD, MD/PhD recipients who seek training in basic or translational cancer research. Preference will be given to new postdoctoral graduates or those who anticipate degrees by July 1, 2013. Faculty mentors have primary appointments in both basic and clinical departments, and many are located in the newly constructed New Jersey Medical School-University Hospital Cancer Center http://njmsuhcc.umdnj.edu/home/. The Cancer Center is located within the New York Metropolitan area and contains three research floors, a 20,000 square foot mouse barrier facility, and extensive in-house Core facilities. While the principal training mechanism of this program is through mentored research with outstanding faculty, a key element of this program is a structured exposure to cancer clinical care through a unique "shadowing program." A detailed program description, list of participating faculty, and application information, can be found at http://njmsuhcc.umdnj.edu/home/index.php/training-program-faculty-mentors.html. Salary support will be for 2-3 years for qualified applicants who must be training grant eligible (US citizen or permanent resident).
