The Carolina Cancer Nanotechnology Training Program is a 24-36-month mentored postdoctoral training program that is offered at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill) with a focus area of research on cancer nanotechnology. This program includes 32 outstanding faculty members representing 14 departments in 3 Schools, including physical and material scientists, biomedical engineers, basic biomedical scientists, pharmaceutical scientists, and clinician-scientists, all of whom have demonstrated strong interests and capabilities to work at the interface between nanoscience and cancer. These individuals will serve as mentors to trainees, utilizing two broad approaches. The first approach involves active co-mentorship of the trainee's research project over a period of two years. In each case, a physical scientist and a biomedical scientist will act in tandem to guide trainee research. It is expected that this approach will provide unique, multi-faceted training experiences leading to significant contributions to cancer nanotechnology. The second approach involves trainee participation in workshops and courses that will broaden their knowledge and conceptual understanding of all areas of cancer nanotechnology. The topics of these workshops will reflect many of the major themes of the Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer. In addition to activities focused on postdoctoral researchers, the C-CNTP will also embark on a broadly based outreach program to disseminate concepts concerning cancer nanotechnology both within the university community and to the public at large.

Postdoctoral trainee will have completed highly relevant doctoral training in medical, pharmacy, chemistry, biomedical sciences, nanotechnology and cancer biology, or related area and awarded a Ph.D., M.D. or M.D./Ph.D.

All applicants must be either US citizens, non-citizen nationals or permanent residents.

- Full understanding of framing research question, research design and methods, and project implementation.
- Demonstrated proficiency in scientific/manuscript writing, grant writing, poster and oral presentations.
- Preferred candidates will have strong publication record.
- Postdoctoral training with focus areas in: Drug Delivery, Polymers, Chemo- and immunotherapy, RNA Vaccines, Computational Chemistry, PK/PD, Translational Research

This is an NIH/NCI sponsored postdoctoral training program, and all applicants must be either US citizens, non-citizen nationals or permanent residents with evidence of superior academic performance, previous research or clinical experience and publications.
