Fellowships in Tobacco Control Research for 2009

The UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education (CTCRE) invites applications for fellowships in policy-relevant tobacco control research. Completed applications are due January 28, 2009, for Fellowships beginning July 1, 2009.

CTCRE represents a partnership between UCSF faculty and the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library (LTDL). UCSF is a leader in tobacco control research and the LTDL was the first to make proprietary, tobacco documents, accessible on the Internet.

Program Purpose:

• To train recent MD or PhD Recipients to launch independent carries in tobacco policy relevant research: postdoctoral trainees will receive an annual salary commensurate with their experience, approximately $37,000-$51,000, according to the NIH stipend scale. These positions are supported by an R25T NIH training grant.

• In some cases scholars with more than three years of postdoctoral training may be accepted for special research projects. Advanced or senior scholars will receive an annual salary commensurate with their experience and subject to funding availability. Source of funding may include support from the scholar’s home institution, faculty-mentor funding, or an R25T NIH training grant.

Trainees will be recruited from a variety of fields including basic science, social science, public health, clinical science, political science, history, economics, law and marketing. They will study and conduct research in association with UCSF faculty mentors. Applicants may learn more about the Center, the fellowship program, and review the list of UCSF faculty and their research interests at our website: http://tobacco.ucsf.edu/
