Postdoctoral Training in Nutritional & Behavioral Cancer Prevention in a Multiethnic Population
The Cancer Research Center of Hawaii’s Postdoctoral Training in Nutritional & Behavioral Cancer Prevention in a Multiethnic Population is funded by the National Cancer Institute, which provides support for post-doctoral training fellowships. Hawaii’s multiethnic setting offers a productive training environment for understanding cancer causation, prevention, and control in ethnically diverse populations. Trainees will experience the interdisciplinary nature of cancer prevention and control through individually tailored educational and research experiences. Trainees are awarded a yearly stipend, research funds, and medical insurance. Successful applicants will join a stimulating, interdisciplinary research environment that combines training in Epidemiology, Nutrition, Biostatistics, and Behavioral Sciences. The two-year training includes multiple mentors, formal curricular activities, seminars, journal clubs, and research experiences. Interaction with interdisciplinary program faculty and with other trainees is central to our program. Methodological and substantive topics related to cancer prevention and control research in ethnic minorities are emphasized throughout the program. The program culminates in the development of an application for a research grant or a career development award and a mock peer review experience.
