Funded by the City of Hope, this program provides exceptionally motivated postdoctoral fellows with scientific knowledge, research training and professional skills in the rapidly growing and interconnected fields of cancer metabolism. The goal of the program is to provide innovative curriculum and mentored research that prepares an elite group of highly motivated fellows to become successful, independent researchers in cancer biology. Fellows can choose a mentor from 31 faculty members, all of whom are performing cancer-focused, funded, high-impact research in cancer metabolism, and have a history of mentoring postdoctoral fellows. Required coursework includes a class in Cancer Metabolism. In addition, trainees will participate in journal clubs, data clubs, professional development seminars, monthly luncheons with mentors, national and international scientific conferences, and a yearly Cancer Metabolism Day.
Fellowships are for up to three years with an institute-supplemented stipend ($58,000 per year plus a full benefit package) and $5,000 for research supplies.
U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent resident status is required. Individuals from underrepresented minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

 

Basic education, experience and skills required for consideration:

  • Applicants must have a completed doctoral degree before starting the fellowship program (all Ph.D. coursework must be completed, final orals must be passed and the dissertation signed).

Individuals from underrepresented minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
