Job Description
The Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (GLCCC) is seeking outstanding candidates for an NCI-funded T32 postdoctoral training program in Cancer Population Science (CPaS). We are currently recruiting for Spring, Summer and Fall of 2025.
The program focuses on preparing trainees for independent clinician-research careers with a focus on clinical and community translational research. Training faculty have a wide breadth of domain-specific expertise with NIH-funded research programs in behavioral science, health disparities, cancer and aging, health services/health policy, quality of life, symptom assessment and survivorship in cancer populations. This includes research in supportive care interventions, implementation science, psychosocial oncology, tobacco control, cancer screening, cancer genetics, cancer energetics, and environment and cancer.
The program offers 2-3 years of funding, competitive salary and benefits, as well as funds for travel and research support. The fellows will have protected clinical time to provide direct clinical care to cancer patients, survivors and their caregivers. Clinical supervision will be provided by the Director of Psychosocial Oncology. Research mentors will help the fellows to develop their own program of funded research and have access to a robust training environment.
GLCCC is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the nation’s capital. Fellows participate in all phases of research, from study design through manuscript preparation, and participate in a formal didactic program. There also are opportunities to participate in multidisciplinary grant writing, the development of new projects, and to mentor undergraduate and graduate students.
Highlights of the training environment of the CPaS Program include:
An established clinical consortium with access to the largest cancer population in the Mid-Atlantic
Georgetown Lombardi Institute for Cancer and Aging
A Minority Underserved NCORP site
The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Prevention
Two funded CISNET modeling groups
The Jess and Mildred Fisher Center for Hereditary Cancer and Clinical Genomics Research
The Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science
The McCourt School of Public Policy
The MedStar Health National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare
The Ruesch Center for the Cure of Gastrointestinal Cancers
The MedStar Georgetown University Hospital Department of Psychiatry
