The Department and the Lurie Cancer Center offer a nurturing environment for career development, a stimulating community of cancer researchers, and weekly conferences and seminars of interest.

The postdoctoral scholar will be expected to build a publication record, including submissions to leading cancer biology journals, apply for internal and extramural funding, and attend national meetings that will help to build an international reputation.
