NCI maintains a secure resume databank of applicants for available or future positions, including postdoctoral fellows. Our Investigators are able to search this databank for candidates who match their interests.

You may also submit your CV directly to a specific sponsor within any of our divisions below:
Center for Cancer Research (CCR)
Conducts basic and clinical cancer research in a variety of disciplines, including molecular medicine. It encourages collaborative efforts, interdisciplinary research, and translational science. It also coordinates its activities with the Institute's intramural and extramural activities. CCR supports and trains new investigators and provides patient care, patient treatment, and education to the community.
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG)
Focuses on population-based research on environmental and genetic determinants of cancer. Interests include genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors, environmental contaminants, occupational exposures, medications, radiation, and infectious agents, as well as statistics and methods development.
Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program (CPFP)
While DCP is an extramural division, it sponsors the Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program. The program provides postdoctoral training in laboratory-based, clinical, epidemiologic, statistical, behavioral, policy, and ethical aspects of prevention research. Preceptors come from all NCI intramural and extramural divisions as well as from local academic institutions.
