Applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Cancer Research

Since 1937, the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research has been offering highly qualified scientists the opportunity to pursue research into the causes and treatments of cancer.

To that end, the fund invites applications for its postdoctoral fellowship program, which will provide stipends of $56,000 for the first year, $59,000 for the second year, and $62,000 the third year — with an additional $1,000 for each dependent child — in support of scientists conducting basic cancer-related research. 

In addition, an allowance of $2,000 per year toward the cost of the research will be made available to the laboratory sponsoring the fellow, and fellows will have access to $1,800 for travel to science meetings.

Applicants should have no more than eighteen months of postdoctoral research experience at the time of the deadline for submitting applications; a PhD degree must not have been conferred more than twenty-four months prior to the deadline date; and an MD degree should not have been conferred more than three years before deadline date of application.
