Pre-Doctoral Fellowships in Cancer Epidemiology
The Yale University – National Cancer Institute Partnership Training
Program in cancer epidemiology is a unique training program that partners
Yale University's Department of Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH)
with the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Division
of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG). Fellowships are available
to support students (tuition plus stipend) while they train in modern
methodologies for evaluating lifestyle determinants of human cancer risk,
with an emphasis on nutritional, environmental, and occupational determinants,
including their interactions with genetic factors. Pre-doctoral students
accepted for this unique training program are jointly mentored by Yale
investigators and NCI investigators. Students will receive didactic instruction
in EPH, as students in Yale University's Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences (Graduate School). Dissertation research is conducted with cancer
epidemiologists at the NCI in collaboration with Yale faculty, with access
to an extensive portfolio of research and resources available through
the NCI DCEG. Yale University will award the Ph.D. upon successful completion
of the program.
APPLICATION DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 15, 2009.
