Postdoctoral Fellowships
- Multidisciplinary training in ethnic diversity and
cancer disparities
Program
The University of Hawaii Cancer Center (UHCC) and
University of Southern California (USC) Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Center (NCCC), both National
Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Centers, are
seeking applications for postdoctoral fellowships in
Cancer Epidemiology in a Multiethnic Population. The
training program is supported by the NIH/NCI under the
T32 mechanism.
Trainees will experience
the interdisciplinary nature of behavioral,
environmental, genetic and epigenetics causes of
cancer disparities through individually tailored
educational and research experiences. Given that this
postdoctoral fellowship is a bi-institutional training
program (UHCC: lifestyle, diet/nutrition and
biomarkers; USC: genetics/molecular epidemiology,
biostatistics/bioinformatics), all postdoctoral
fellows will be exposed to a wide range of innovative
molecular and traditional epidemiological approaches.
Given our locations, our program offers excellent
opportunities for research addressing Native
Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders and Asians (UHCC) as well
as Latinos and African Americans (USC). Trainees are
awarded a competitive salary, full benefits, and a
research/educational/travel allowance.
Eligibility
Applicants should have a
recent doctoral degree (e.g., PhD, DrPH, MD/MPH) in
Epidemiology, Nutrition, Biostatistics, Behavioral
Sciences, Biostatistics, or related disciplines in a
regionally accredited U.S. university or foreign
equivalent. U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is
required. A 2-year commitment is expected and
acceptance is based on availability of suitable
faculty mentor.
Application
Interested applicants should apply with a cover
letter, Curriculum Vitae, 2-page statement of research
interests and career goals, copies of all graduate
school transcripts, and the names and contact
information for three references. Please send
application documents and inquiries to
trainees@cc.hawaii.edu. Or apply via this link
