Postdoctoral Training Program

for Quantitative Population Sciences in Cancer

Dartmouth Medical School invites applications from postdoctoral candidates for a

new training and career development opportunity designed to cross-train scientists

in the fields of bioinformatics, biostatistics and epidemiology for cancer research in

the population sciences. The Training Program for Quantitative Population Sciences

in Cancer at Dartmouth is supported by the Cancer Education and Career Development

program of the National Cancer Institute. Trainees with doctorates in diverse biomedical

sciences will choose a secondary focus area among the three core disciplines and

participate in a combination of structured, group learning activities and individually

designed mentored research opportunities. Stipends, course tuition and certificates of

training are provided.

Applicants must possess a PhD, combination PhD/MD, or MD degree. Applicants with a

PhD in one of the three core disciplines are encouraged to apply for the purpose of

receiving training in one of the other two disciplines. Highly qualified applicants with

doctoral degrees in other biomedical sciences or in clinical medicine also eligible and are

encouraged to apply. Candidates who are current or former PIs on NIH Small Grants (R03s)

or Exploratory/ Developmental Grants (R21s) are eligible. Individuals appointed to the

program must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States (U.S.), or must have

been lawfully admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence. Individuals on temporary visas

are not eligible.  Candidates are appointed for at least 2 years and can be supported for

up to 3 years.

Founded in 1797, Dartmouth Medical School draws on the resources of Dartmouth College,

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center to support broad

interdisciplinary programs in biomedical research, education, patient care and service.

Located in rural New Hampshire, the region offers idyllic landscapes and recreation,

outstanding schools and cultural activities, and accessibility to major northeastern cities,

including Boston (2.5 hours drive) and Montreal (3 hrs drive).

Submissions should include a letter of intent, curriculum vitae, and names and contact

information for three references.

Applicant materials should be mailed or e-mailed to:
