Job Description:
Position Summary The Carolina Cancer Nanotechnology Training
Program is a 24-36-month mentored postdoctoral training program
that is offered at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (
UNC Chapel Hill) with focus area of research on cancer
nanotechnology. This program includes 22 faculty members
representing eleven departments in three Schools, including
physical, and material scientists, biomedical engineers, basic
biomedical scientists, pharmaceutical scientists, and
clinician-scientists, all of whom have demonstrated strong
interests and capabilities to work at the interface between
nanoscience and cancer. These individuals will serve as mentors to
trainees, utilizing two broad approaches. The first approach
involves active co-mentorship of the trainee’s research project
over a period of two years. In each case there will be a physical
scientist and a biomedical scientist acting in tandem to guide
trainee research. It is expected that this approach will provide
unique multi-faceted training experience leading to significant
contributions to cancer nanotechnology. The second approach
involves trainee participation in workshops and courses that will
broaden their knowledge and conceptual understanding of all areas
of cancer nanotechnology. The topics of these workshops will
reflect many of the major themes of the Alliance for Nanotechnology
in Cancer. In addition to activities focused on postdoctoral
researchers, the C- CNTP will also embark on a broadly based
outreach program to disseminate concepts concerning cancer
nanotechnology both within the university community and to the
public at large. Required Qualifications, Competencies, And
Experience All applicants must be either US citizens, non-citizen
nationals or permanent residents. Preferred Qualifications,
Competencies, And Experience - Full understanding of framing
research question, research design and methods, and project
implementation. - Demonstrated proficiency in scientific/manuscript
writing, grant writing, poster and oral presentations. - Preferred
candidates will have strong publication record and demonstrated
experience in research study design and project implementation.
