The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Cancer Center in Milwaukee is accepting fellowship applications for the two-year Biobehavioral Oncology Training (BBOT) Program offering postdoctoral research training. The program integrates the cross-cutting theme of cancer disparities from prevention to survivorship. Preceptors are members of MCW’s Cancer Center.

The program is supported by an NCI T32 award. Program objectives include cultivating successful, independent cancer research leaders from diverse population groups to address cancer health disparities by integrating biological and behavioral aspects into their research. MENTORSBBOT mentors are all funded PIs with cancer- relevant extramural support. Mentors include PhDs, MDs, and MD/PhDs appointed in over 12 departments and interdepartmental programs representing basic, clinical, and population sciences. Collectively, mentors have significant expertise in epidemiology, cancer biology, genetics, biostatistics, neuroscience, immunology, and behavioral medicine and interventions, offering research opportunities focusing on the interactions of genetic, molecular, neural, psychological,
