NIH T32 Stanford Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities
NIH T32 - Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) Program
The Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) program is an integrated, 3-year cross-disciplinary postdoctoral training program at Stanford University that brings together 28 faculty mentors from 13 departments in the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Humanities and Sciences. Molecular imaging (MI), a noninvasive technique to visualize and quantify specific molecular and biochemical processes in living organisms, has revolutionized medicine and biomedical research and continues to expand its applications in the detection, treatment, and management of cancer.
SMIS faculty mentors, and extensive resources, provide a rich and diverse training environment spanning fields such as biology, physics, mathematics, biocomputation/biomedical informatics, engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, cancer biology, immunology, and medical sciences. The centerpiece of the SMIS program is the opportunity for trainees (with Ph.D., MD, or MD/Ph.D. degrees) to conduct innovative molecular imaging research that is co-mentored by faculty in complementary research and clinical disciplines. SMIS trainees also engage in specialized coursework, seminars, national conferences, and clinical rounds, including ethics training and the responsible conduct of research. The three-year program culminates with the preparation and review of a mock NIH grant proposal, in support of trainee transition to an independent career in cancer molecular imaging.
Funding is available for 3 years for stipend, health insurance, and supplies/travel.
ELIGIBILITY:
1. Candidate must have an MD or Ph.D. degree
2. Candidate must be a US citizen, or a non-citizen national, or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence and possess an Alien Registration Card (1-151 or 1-551) or some other verification of legal admission as a permanent resident.

NIH T32 – Stanford Cancer Imaging Training (SCIT) Program
The Stanford Cancer Imaging Training (SCIT) Program, funded by the National Cancer Institute, aims to train the next generation of researchers in the development and clinical translation of advanced techniques for cancer imaging and its application.
SCIT is a two-year program training five fellows (roughly half Ph.D. / half MD) per year over a five-year funding cycle. Jeremy Dahl, PhD, and Bruce Daniel, MD lead this program, featuring mentors with independent cancer-focused or -related funding and ten distinguished program advisors. The strengthened required coursework includes 2 courses in the clinical/cancer sciences, 2 in imaging science, 1 in biostatistics, 1 in medical ethics (“Responsible Conduct of Research”), 2 workshops in grant writing, attendance at a minimum of 4 multidisciplinary tumor boards, and regular attendance during a continuing education workshop that covers topics in responsible conduct of research and rigor and reproducibility. In addition, trainees can select from a multitude of electives offered by various Stanford University faculty across numerous clinical, science, and engineering departments. Each trainee’s primary focus is a mentored cancer-imaging research project aimed at publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at National meetings. Trainees are paired with both a basic science and physician mentor, to provide guidance in course and research-topic selection and to develop a translational mindset.
Funding is available for 2 years for stipend, health insurance, and supplies/travel.
ELIGIBILITY:
1. Candidate must have an MD or PhD degree.
2. Candidate must be a US citizen, or a non-citizen national, or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence and possess an Alien Registration Card (1-151 or 1-551) or some other verification of legal admission as a permanent resident.
