We anticipate 2-3 post-doc openings in our NCI T32 program at USC starting in summer/fall 2018. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in any area of tobacco or alcohol use or any other cancer risk behavior.
Please feel free to distribute to colleagues.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California seeks candidates for one- to three-year research fellowships (pending final funding decisions). Fellowship positions provide mentored training in research as well as protected time to participate in publishing, grant writing, and other career development activities. Fellows will have the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary group of faculty who conduct research on the determinants, epidemiology, and intervention/prevention of behavioral influences on cancer risk: (a) tobacco product, alcohol, and drug use; (b) obesity, diet, physical activity, and sedentary behavior; (c) sexually-transmitted infections related to cancer (e.g., HPV infection); and (d) cancer survivorship. We seek candidates with backgrounds and interests that complement existing strengths in: (1) health disparities and social/environmental determinants of health; (2) psychological influences on health behavior, (3) behavioral and social science methodologies (e.g., longitudinal data analysis, ecological momentary assessment, social network analysis, qualitative research, and human biobehavioral laboratory paradigms), (4) developmental processes and youth/young-adult health behavior; and (5) psychoneuroimmunology.
The fellowship program is administered by the Division of Health Behavior Research within the Department of Preventive Medicine and provides an annual salary (based upon year doctorate received), health insurance, tuition, and conference travel support. This multidisciplinary department of behavioral scientists, epidemiologists, environmental health scientists, and biostatisticians has a long history of conducting innovative externally-funded research and currently holds active research programs on tobacco products, obesity, cancer survivorship, and other public health issues. Many faculty members are also members of the USC/Norris Cancer Center, an NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center with strong research programs in cancer control and epidemiology.
More information about can be found at ipr.usc.edu and uscnorriscancer.usc.edu. Qualified individuals must have completed a PhD, MD or equivalent, and must be a US citizen or have permanent resident status. Women, minorities, and candidates from other underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. USC is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
