Staff and Volunteer Positions
Behavioral Oncology Postdoctoral Training Fellow
Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, invites applications to its post-doctoral training program in behavioral oncology. This recently refunded NCI-supported T32 interdisciplinary training program is designed to prepare fellows for careers as independent investigators engaged in research on behavioral aspects of cancer prevention detection and control. The program combines a specialized curriculum (formal didactic training and one-on-one interactions with experienced mentors) with research experience (participation in funded studies under the guidance of an experienced investigator).
We are particularly interested in candidates with an interest in nicotine dependence and tobacco control, cervical cancer prevention, cultural and literacy issues in cancer prevention and control, disparities in cancer care, quality of life and symptom management issues in cancer survivors, psychosocial and behavioral aspects of familial and hereditary cancer, and health care provider practices in cancer prevention and control.

Internships
Dr. Vinci is conducting studies related to tobacco use, alcohol use and mindfulness. Previous experience working with community members from diverse backgrounds is strongly recommended for interns since they will have in direct contact with participants who are recruited from the community.
Training opportunities will include but are not limited to: meeting with participants in the lab, follow up contact with participants, conducting telephone screens, administering assessments, data entry, and participating in lab and trainee meetings (held specifically for research interns).
Interns must commit to 10 hours per week for a 1 year time period (generally within the hours of 8am-6:30pm).
Applicants (who are offered a position) are required to submit to all formal hiring procedures at Moffitt, including background and drug testing, as well as ethical trainings.
