“Interested in a research career in cancer prevention, screening, or survivorship?
We’re recruiting two postdoctoral fellows for Jefferson’s HRSA-funded Jeff-MAPPP T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
I’m a strong believer in the value of interdisciplinary research and mentorship, particularly when it comes to addressing complex challenges in cancer prevention and control.
This fellowship offers a great opportunity for early-career researchers to work with investigators across disciplines while developing their own independent research programs.
I’m particularly excited about the opportunities for fellows interested in the intersection of cancer and primary care, whether that’s improving cancer prevention and screening, addressing barriers to care, or developing better approaches to survivorship care.
Fellows receive 2–3 years of support, individualized mentorship, and opportunities to develop their own research projects, publish, write grants, and build the skills needed for an independent research career.
The program also welcomes applicants working in chronic disease management, mental health, addiction, health promotion, and healthcare access.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
If this sounds like you, or you know a promising early-career researcher, please consider applying or sharing.”
About the Jeff-MAPPP Fellowship
The Jeff-MAPPP T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is a collaborative, interdisciplinary training program at Thomas Jefferson University focused on prevention, screening, nutrition and lifestyle promotion, cancer, chronic disease and behavioral health.
The program includes weekly mentorship with at least two mentors and monthly career-development workshops covering areas such as grant writing, data management, AI in research, intervention development, research dissemination and scientific writing.
Hoda Badr’s Division of Population Science is also working on research related to cancer prevention, early detection, colorectal cancer screening and patient-centered decision-making, including efforts within primary care settings.
