    BACKGROUND

    The Stanford Cancer Systems Biology Scholars (CSBS) Program is a multidisciplinary training program for cancer and biocomputational researchers who want to embark on a systems biology approach to discover clinically-relevant cellular and molecular networks underlying cancer risk, initiation, progression and treatment response. We bring together 30 faculty mentors from 19 departments. Funding is available for salary, supplies, and travel.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    CSBS is a two-year postdoctoral training program focused on innovative, multidisciplinary cancer research education that seamlessly integrates experimental and computational biology in order to systematically unravel the complexity of cancer.

    REQUIREMENTS

    With funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), we are able to offer the CSBS Program to well-qualified applicants from various backgrounds: (1) cancer biologists who want to be cross-trained in computational sciences and (2) computational scientists who want to be cross-trained in cancer biology.

    TERMS

    There are no citizenship requirements. Applicants must have an MD, PhD or MD/PhD. Applicants should not have more than 3 years prior postdoc experience by the start date of the program. Please visit the application page for more information.

    LOCALE

    Palo Alto, California

    COMPENSATION

    55k per year plus benefits.
