H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute

Welcome to the Postdoctoral Training Program at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. We have established this training program to advance the careers of promising scholars who are interested in sharing our mission, which is "to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer." By providing access to cutting-edge research facilities and the collaborative, interdisciplinary environment of Moffitt Cancer Center, we hope to produce strong, successful candidates for research positions throughout the scientific community.

Interested in a career in cancer research? If you have already completed your Ph.D. (or an equivalent degree program), then the Postdoctoral Training at Moffitt Cancer Center may be for you. We are interested in recruiting scholars who have a profound interest in preventing, treating, and curing cancer, one experiment at a time, as well as those who would like to help patients in their struggle to beat the disease.

Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the state of Florida and one of only seven in the southeast. As a Comprehensive Cancer Center, our research enterprise offers training in numerous areas key in the fight against cancer. Postdoctoral researchers at Moffitt work under the guidance of outstanding faculty mentors in various aspects of cancer research, including: Molecular Oncology, Immunology, Drug Discovery, Experimental Therapeutics, Health Outcomes & Behavior, and Risk Assessment, Detection & Intervention.

Moffitt Cancer Center also hosts an NCI-funded interdisciplinary training program in Behavioral Oncology. This program is designed to prepare fellows for careers as independent investigators engaged in research on behavioral aspects of cancer prevention, detection and control.
