Translational Behavioral Oncology T32 Postdoctoral Training Program

Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, invites applications to its post-doctoral training program in behavioral oncology. This NCI-supported T32 interdisciplinary training program is designed to prepare fellows for careers as independent investigators engaged in research on behavioral aspects of cancer prevention detection and control.

We are particularly interested in candidates with an interest in nicotine dependence and tobacco control, cervical cancer prevention, cultural and literacy issues in cancer prevention and control, disparities in cancer care, quality of life and symptom management issues in cancer survivors, psychosocial and behavioral aspects of familial and hereditary cancer, and health care provider practices in cancer prevention and control.

At this time, the postdoctoral trainee positions have all been filled for the Fall 2025 cohort. We will begin accepting applications for the Fall 2026 cohort later this year, on or around November 2025.
