Postdoc Opportunity: CPRIT Postdoctoral Fellowship at MD Anderson Houston
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is currently accepting applications for the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT TRIUMPH) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Translational Cancer Research.
The CPRIT TRIUMPH Program is a three-year training program. The first year, postdoctoral fellows participate in a series of didactic clinical course work offered at the MD Anderson UTHealth Graduate School (GSBS), MD Anderson Cancer Center, or the UTHealth McGovern School of Medicine and strategically matched clinical rotations, while pursuing research in a basic or translational research laboratory. Second and third year fellows are co-mentored by a basic science/translational scientist mentor and a physician/clinical scientist mentor on clinical/translational research projects. The expectation for our post-docs is that by the end of their 3-year training, they will have first authored manuscripts high impact journals. Our multidisciplinary training program will award a certificate upon completion.
This three-year fellowship provides basic, translational, and clinical training and aims to further develop talented Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D’s into successful clinical/translational research scientists. Applications are reviewed quarterly with the next cycle due dates of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019.
