Postdoctoral Programs | UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center

Pre-doctoral and postdoctoral scholars will grow into independent investigators through Comparative Lung Biology and Medicine Program’s interactive research environments, innovated and competitive research themes and projects, and training opportunities.

Our first-in-the-nation Comparative Oncology program trains the next generation of veterinarian- and physician-scientists. Drawing on UC Davis’s strengths as a research institution, pre- and post-doctoral scholars have access to faculty mentors from the School of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine as well as the Colleges of Agricultural Science, Environmental Science, and Engineering. Dual DVM-PhD students work to integrate the study of companion animals, which have naturally-occurring cancers, with human cancer biology and therapy (comparative oncology to advance the health of people and animals.

The F Award Writing Workshop at UC Davis is a hands-on program for pre- and postdoctoral scholars preparing NIH NRSA applications. Participants will draft, revise, and finalize their grant applications with feedback from peers and mentors, enhancing their grant writing and communication skills. Priority is given to cancer-focused and translational research scholars.
