TRIUMPH at MDACC or UT Medical School 

TRIUMPH (Translational Research in Multi-Disciplinary Program) Post-docs  is a new post-doctoral program ( http://www.mdanderson.org/prof_education/triumph) that will provide training in clinical and translational research.  The immediate goal of this program is to recruit talented, productive, well trained PhDs and train them through didactic course work as well as clinical rotations and a unique mentorship to pursue clinical and/or translational research.  A long term goal of this program is to produce scientists who can be paired with suitable physician scientists to co-PI a research laboratory.  This is a 3 year training program where  the post-docs will take a series of didactic clinical course work offered at either Graduate School for Biomedical Sciences (GSBS), MDACC or UT Medical School, participate in 5 different clinical rotations, while pursuing research in a translational research laboratory.   The expectation for the post-docs is that by the end of their 3 year training, they will have become fluent in the understanding of intricacies of translational research and have published in high tier journals. This program will also award a certificate from the University of Texas, GSBS.  The eligibility requirements include the following 1) Ph.D. from a top US graduate school programs in any of the life sciences, 2) high tier publications and 3) dedication to pursue cancer research.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers
