Job description

A Research Intern position is available in the department Radiation Oncology. The Research Intern is a trainee-level position designed for recent graduates seeking hands-on experience in clinical and translational cancer research. The intern will work under the guidance of a faculty mentor and research team to support ongoing studies while developing foundational skills in oncology research. This role provides direct exposure to the research process, including study design, data collection, data analysis, and dissemination of findings. The intern is expected to actively contribute to research activities while participating in structured training and educational programs.
All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
