IARC Fellowships for Cancer Research

The Fellowships Programme has been reorganized to offer postdoctoral fellowships to junior scientists from low- or medium-resource countries who wish to complete their training at the IARC in Lyon, France working in a research Group. A Visiting Scientist Award is also offered for a qualified and experienced investigator who wishes to spend from three to twelve months at the IARC working on a collaborative project in a research area related to the Agency's programmes.

The new Ph.D. training programme is now calling for applications from junior scientists from low- or medium-resource countries who are committed to pursuing a career in cancer research and have a Master's degree in an appropriate subject (medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, laboratory research) and wish to study for a Ph.D. degree in the field of epidemiology or biostatistics in a research Group at IARC in Lyon. The thesis will be required to be submitted in English.

DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS IS: 1 September 2006
