Applications for the Immuno-Informatics Postdoctoral Fellowship Program by the Cancer Research Institute are now open for qualified young scientists at academic research institutions globally. Any young researcher who wants to receive dual training in immunology and data science can apply.
The fellowships support computational biologists seeking to strengthen their knowledge of immunology and cancer immunologists. It provides training in computational biology, data science, and/or genomics under the mentorship of world-renowned scientists in the disciplines.
The felloship also considers applicants from diverse PhD fields ready to train at the interface of cancer immunology and computational biology. 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.
Funding Information
– Newly awarded fellowships provide a stipend of $74,000 for the first year, $76,000 for the second year, and $78,000 for the third year.
– An allowance of $5,000 per year is allotted to the host institution for use at the sponsor’s discretion to help pay for the fellow’s research supplies, travel to scientific meetings, health insurance, and/or childcare.
– CRI provides additional support for fellows to attend CRI’s annual International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference (CICON), and to participate in CRI’s soon-to-be-launched Bioinformatics Bootcamp.
– Deductions for administrative overhead are not allowed from either the stipend or the institutional allowance. Payments are made monthly in U.S. currency to the host institution.
Which projects qualify?
– Hypothesis projects in the basic or translational cancer immunology or immunology.
– The application should also address new skills expected to be gained by the applicant in either immunology and/or computational biology including theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Who qualifies
– If you intend to apply for the CRI Immuno-Informatics Postdoctoral Fellowship, you must have been working in areas related to immunology or cancer immunology.
– You must have a doctoral degree by the date of award activation and must conduct your proposed research under a sponsor who holds a formal appointment as an assistant professor or higher rank at the host institution.
– If you have a postdoctoral experience older than 5 years at the time of the award activation, you are not eligible. The exception is MD applicants, who should not include years of residency in this calculation.
– The fellowship has to be performed at a non-profit institution in the United States or abroad, so get ready for that.
