Post-doctoral Fellowship in Cancer Control and Survivorship Research at Stanford University

We are seeking applications for 1 full-time post-doctoral research fellow to join the Stanford Cancer Survivorship Research Laboratory at the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, led by Dr. Oxana Palesh in the fall of 2016.  We are looking for candidates with doctoral degrees in clinical psychology, health psychology, epidemiology, public health, or another behavioral science with an interest in developing expertise in conducting behavioral clinical trials in cancer. Prior research experience or training in behavioral sleep medicine is a plus, but is not essential. Prior clinical research experience is strongly desired.

The postdoctoral fellow will assist and receive mentorship on a weekly basis from the PI and co-investigators in all aspects of clinical intervention research and will participate in conducting the experimental and control interventions and assist in analysis and interpretation of data for conference presentations and publications co-authored with other members of the research team.  The postdoctoral fellow will assist with the development of training protocols as well as intervention study procedures and will have opportunities to help supervise research staff and mentor undergraduate and graduate students.

How to apply: Applicants should submit: curriculum vitae, a brief cover letter and two writing samples (papers or publications).  Letters of recommendation will be required for the final applicants. Application should be sent to: Oxana Palesh, PhD, MPH, Director, Stanford Cancer Survivorship Research, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, 401 Quarry Road, Office 2318, Stanford, CA 94305-5718 or emailed to: opalesh@stanford.edu.
