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.

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.

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.
