T32 Postdoctoral Fellowships
Postdoctoral Training Grant in Precision Cancer Control
This NCI-funded T32 supports postdoctoral candidates who are committed to developing a successful independent research career in cancer control. Training areas include, but are not limited to: community-engaged research approaches, cancer care delivery research, behavioral interventions, mobile and electronic health (mHealth and eHealth) tools, translational science, epidemiology, geospatial analytics, and implementation science.
Fox Chase Cancer Center is currently seeking to fill two positions on this fellowship. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications should include: (1) Cover letter, including a list of up to 3 references; (2) Personal statement of research interests and career goals; and (3) CV. See the fellowship flyer or more information.

Endowed Postdoctoral Fellowships
Fox Chase currently maintains several endowed postdoctoral fellowships:
- William J. Avery Endowed Postdoctoral Fellowship; W.J. Avery Endowed Postdoctoral Fellowship
These two fellowships were established as a result of Fox Chase Cancer Center's Prevention Research Campaign. These fellowships were made possible by a generous gift from the Connelly Foundation in the name of its fellow trustee and Fox Chase Prevention Campaign Chairman William J. Avery.
- Fox Chase Cancer Center Board of Directors' Fellowship
This fellowship was established through many generous leadership gifts from members of the Fox Chase Cancer Center Governing Board as the inaugural project of the Cancer Prevention Research Campaign.
- Lawrence Greenwald Postdoctoral Fellowship
This fellowship is endowed through a gift from four foundations headed by members of the Greenwald family. The fellowship supports candidates with a commitment to research on leukemia and lymphomas.
- Elizabeth Knight Patterson Postdoctoral Fellowship
This fellowship, established in honor of longtime Fox Chase scientist Elizabeth Knight Patterson, supports postdoctoral research in structural biology and/or biochemistry.
- Board of Associates Fellowship
This one-year fellowship is awarded through an annual gift from the Fox Chase Cancer Center Board of Associates.
- F.M. Kirby Postdoctoral Fellowship
Established through the Kirby Family Endowed Fund to support a postdoctoral fellow belonging to one of the populations underrepresented in the extramural scientific workforce working in the area of fields related to cancer biology, prevention, treatment, and survivorship.
- Philadelphia Foundation (Reimann)
Established through an annual donation from the Stanley P. Reimann Fellowship Fund to support research in cancer biology, prevention, treatment, and survivorship.
The above fellowships have no citizenship restrictions and cannot be transferred if the postdoctoral fellow leaves Fox Chase.
Application Requirements:
- Completion of a PhD, MD, DVM or equivalent degree
- Three letters of recommendation
- A brief research proposal written with the advice of a Fox Chase faculty member
Medical Fellowships
