Aim: The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program supports qualified young scientists at leading universities and research centers around the world. The fellowships will support both computational biologists who seek to strengthen their knowledge of immunology and cancer immunologists who seek training in computational biology, data science, and/or genomics under the mentorship of world-renowned scientists in these disciplines. Applicants from diverse PhD fields who will train at the interface of cancer immunology and computational biology will also be considered. The program is designed to train and equip the next generation of scientists with the knowledge and practical tools to pursue novel research ideas bridging immunology and computational biology.
The applicant should make every effort to demonstrate the potential of the proposed study to directly impact our understanding of the immune system’s role in cancer by leveraging the use of innovative technologies and/or computational methods including high throughput “omic” methods and data analyses. A successful proposal will include how the project intends to address the current gaps in cancer immunology.
Duration: 3 years
Funding:
Year 1 - $74,000 stipend
Year 2 - $76,000 stipend
Year 3 - $78,000 stipend
Each year - $5,000 allowance for research or travel
Eligibility: Projects must be hypothesis-driven in basic or translational cancer immunology or immunology. Applicant must hold a doctorate degree by the date of award activation, but have no more than 5 years postdoctoral experience. Must be sponsored by a senior researcher with a formal appointment at the host institution. The fellowship can be performed in the United States or abroad, but must take place at a non-profit institution. There are no citizenship restrictions.
How to Apply: Proposal materials, including an application form, background statement, CV, research proposal, and supporting letters, must be uploaded via the online portal. Note that the proposal must be approved and signed by the host institution; please contact the Research Office for assistance.
Application Deadline: 01 September 2024 (5:00 pm EST)
