POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS FOR
TRAINING IN CANCER RESEARCH
2014-2015
Applications for training fellowships in 2014-2015 are invited from junior scientists
wishing to complete their training in those aspects of cancer research related to the
Agency’s mission: to coordinate and conduct both epidemiological and laboratory
research into the causes and prevention of cancer. Disciplines covered are: epidemiology
(including genetic and molecular), biostatistics, bioinformatics, and areas related to mechanisms of
carcinogenesis including molecular and cell biology, molecular genetics, epigenetics, and molecular
pathology. There is an emphasis on interdisciplinary projects.
IARC awards between eight to eleven new fellowships per year, depending on availability of
funds. Fellowships are tenable at the IARC in Lyon, France working in a research Group.
Applicants are eligible from any country. The IARC is particularly keen to promote the
development of expertise in cancer research in low- and medium-resource countries by training
postdoctoral researchers from these countries who can return to apply their new skills and
expertise. Therefore, applications from candidates from low- and medium-resource
countries or applicants from any part of the world but with projects related to low- and
medium-resource countries are encouraged. The fellowship is for a period of two years, the
second year being subject to satisfactory appraisal. Candidates are required to have finished their
doctoral degree (Ph.D.) within five years of the closing date for application, or be in the final phase
of completing their doctoral degree. The working languages at IARC are English and French.
Candidates must be proficient in English at a level sufficient for scientific communication.
Candidates currently working as IARC-funded postdoctoral scientists, or candidates who have
worked at the Agency for a period greater than six months, cannot be considered. Candidates are
encouraged to contact the host Group of their choice at IARC before application in order to interact
closely to establish a proposed programme of mutual interest. Contact with the Group Heads can be
made through the Agency’s web site: http:/ / w w w .iarc.fr (see Research Sections).
Fellowships must be taken up by 30 November 2014. The annual stipend with dependant
allowance is competitive compared with other international fellowships schemes. The cost of travel
for the Fellow, and in certain circumstances for dependants, will be met and health insurance
covered.

SENIOR VISITING SCIENTIST AWARD
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is the specialized cancer
Agency of the World Health Organization (WHO). Situated in Lyon, France, the
IARC houses both epidemiology and laboratory Groups allowing it to fulfil its
mission: to coordinate and conduct research on the causes of human cancer, to
elucidate the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and to develop scientific strategies for
cancer prevention and control.
The Agency is offering the exciting opportunity of an IARC Senior Visiting
Scientist Award. This Award is for a qualified and experienced senior
investigator with recent publications in international peer-reviewed scientific
journals who wishes to spend from six to twelve months at the IARC working
on a collaborative project in a research area related to the Agency’s
programmes. The major areas of activity are focused on understanding cancer
etiology (including infections, nutrition, lifestyle, environment, radiation, genetics),
developing strategies for cancer prevention (primary prevention, screening,
implementation research) and elucidating the underlying mechanisms of
carcinogenesis through studies of molecular and cell biology, molecular genetics,
epigenetics and molecular pathology. The Agency also has strong programmes
dedicated to describing the global cancer burden and to the evaluation of
carcinogenicity through its Monographs Programme. There is an emphasis on
interdisciplinary work in the Agency’s research activities as well as a focus on
biostatistics, bioinformatics and related methodological developments.
Candidates are requested to contact the relevant Scientific Groups in order to set
up a collaborative project. For details on scientific programmes and research groups
please consult the IARC Web site: http://www.iarc.fr, or contact the IARC at the
address below.
Applicants must belong to the staff of a university or a research institution and
should provide written assurance of a post to return to at the end of the period of
award.
Candidates will be notified of the outcome of their application by the end of April
2014. The annual remuneration will be 48,000 Euros (net), pro-rata according to
length of stay. The cost of travel for the Awardee, and in certain circumstances for
dependants, will be met, and health insurance covered. The Award should be taken
up no later than 30 November 2014.

EXPERTISE TRANSFER FELLOWSHIP
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is the specialized cancer Agency
of the World Health Organization (WHO). Situated in Lyon, France, the IARC houses both
epidemiology and laboratory Groups allowing it to fulfil its mission: to coordinate and
conduct research on the causes of human cancer, to elucidate the mechanisms of
carcinogenesis and to develop scientific strategies for cancer control.
The IARC is offering an Expertise Transfer Fellowship to enable an established
investigator to spend normally from six to twelve months in an appropriate host
institute in a low- / medium-resource country* in order to transfer knowledge and
expertise in a research area relevant for the host country and related to the Agency’s
programmes. The major areas of activity are focused on understanding cancer etiology
(including infections, nutrition, lifestyle, environment, radiation, genetics), developing
strategies for cancer prevention (primary prevention, screening, implementation research)
and elucidating the underlying mechanisms of carcinogenesis through studies of molecular
and cell biology, molecular genetics, epigenetics and molecular pathology. The Agency
also has strong programmes dedicated to describing the global cancer burden and to the
evaluation of carcinogenicity through its Monographs Programme. There is an emphasis
on interdisciplinary work in the Agency’s research activities.
Applications should include a proposed collaborative research project, specifying the link
to IARC’s on-going activities and a letter of support from the host giving details of
feasibility and anticipated benefit to the receiving institute. A letter of endorsement from a
research Group at IARC must also be provided. Priority will be given to projects directly
linked to IARC’s on-going research programme, involving at least one contact at IARC.
Applicants should be established cancer researchers actively engaged in the field with
appropriate scientific or medical qualifications and an excellent publications’ record. They
must also belong to the staff of a university or a research institution.
Deadline for receipt of applications is 30 November 2013. Candidates will be notified
of the outcome of their application by the end of April 2014. The annual remuneration will
be US$ 63,600 (net), pro-rata according to length of stay. The fellowship may include
