“Interested in a research career in cancer prevention, screening, or survivorship?
We’re recruiting two postdoctoral fellows for Jefferson’s HRSA-fundedJeff-MAPPP T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
I’m a strong believer in the value ofinterdisciplinary research and mentorship, particularly when it comes to addressing complex challenges in cancer prevention and control.
This fellowship offers a great opportunity for early-career researchers to work with investigators across disciplines while developing their own independent research programs.
I’m particularly excited about the opportunities for fellows
I’m particularly excited about the opportunities for fellows interested in the intersection of cancer and primary care, whether that’s improving cancer prevention and screening, addressing barriers to care, or developing better approaches to survivorship care.
Fellows receive 2–3 years of support, individualized mentorship, and opportunities to develop their own research projects, publish, write grants, and build the skills needed for an independent research career.
The program also welcomes applicants working in chronic disease management, mental health, addiction, health promotion, and healthcare access.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
If this sounds like you, or you know
If this sounds like you, or you know a promising early-career researcher, please consider applying or sharing.”
