美国俄亥俄州立大学综合癌症中心2012年招聘博士后

The Ohio State University (OSU) Comprehensive Cancer Center invites applications from individuals interested in obtaining postdoctoral research experience in the area of health disparities research to begin summer 2012. OSU, located in Columbus, is one of ten Centers for Population Health and Health Disparities (CPHHD) established by the National Institute of Health (NIH). The ten Centers form a network of research teams to explore the complexity of health disparities. The OSU CPHHD is using a community-based research approach, focusing on cancer disparities in Ohio Appalachia.

Successful candidates will partake in two years of full time formalized training in health disparities research that includes: 1) specialized curriculum of instruction, 2) mentored research experiences, and 3) development of a NIH grant proposal. The postdoctoral trainee will gain research experience by working on the Community, Awareness, Resources, and Education (CARE II) projects. CARE II includes projects focusing on biologic through policy-level factors and examines the genetic contributions to invasive cervical cancer, the influence of social networks on smoking behaviors, the biological effects of stress on immunity to HPV, and the effects of a multi-level intervention on uptake of the HPV vaccine.

The Program seeks individuals with a PhD, DrPH, MD, or DO in a health-related discipline. A generous stipend, tuition, health insurance, research support, and travel to a scientific meeting are provided. In addition, postdoctoral trainees will have the option of focusing their coursework and experiences toward a Master of Public Health degree in the OSU College of Public Health.

Program Eligibility
Prior relevant research and a strong commitment to a continuing career in cancer-related research are desirable. Applicants will be considered for admission based on the quality of academic doctoral preparation and the rigor of the dissertation research. The OSU CPHHD values diversity and especially encourages applications from individuals from Appalachia, women, and underrepresented minority scholars. Candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents.

Applications for summer 2012 are being accepted now and will be reviewed beginning January 2012.

Applications should include the following:
• All graduate transcripts
• A statement of research interests and goals to be accomplished through the training period
