The Division of Medical Oncology at the University of Calgary is accepting applications for a Lung Cancer Clinical & Research Fellowship based at the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calgary, Canada. The funded fellowship is available for 1–2 years, with one position available, and combines clinical training in thoracic oncology with research in real-world outcomes, translational oncology, and clinical trials.
