Postdoctoral Research Training in Cancer Biology
The department of Cancer Biology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM) is seeking postdoctoral fellows interested in pursuing advanced training in Cancer Biology. Available research projects focus on DNA damage and cellular defense, cell growth and survival, gene-environment interactions, aberrant signaling pathways in tumor cells, molecular cancer epidemiology, and cancer control. Please visit the Cancer Biology faculty Web pages for more details on research projects.
The Cancer Center at Wake Forest University is an NIH-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Only 1% of U.S. cancer centers are designated by the National Cancer Institute as comprehensive – indicating excellence in research, patient care and education. U.S. News and World Report ranks our Comprehensive Cancer Center among the nation’s top hospitals in cancer care. Within the Cancer Center, the Centers of Excellence in Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Brain Tumor assemble researchers and clinicians from different disciplines for a comprehensive look at these malignancies. In addition, other cancer types are being investigated.
A limited number of NIH fellowships are available to support qualified applicants with a doctoral degree in a relevant field. Individuals with a recent Ph.D. or M.D. and with outstanding potential for a career in cancer research will be considered. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or possess a green card.
Applications should include a completed version of the application form, a curriculum vitae, and graduate transcripts.
