UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, invites applications for the Hillman Postdoctoral Fellowship in Innovative Cancer Research. Hillman Postdoctoral Fellows for Innovative Cancer Research will receive a stipend 20% above the NIH recommendation for two years and a $10,000 career development account. Hillman Postdoctoral Fellows for Innovative Cancer holding a PhD must submit a K99 application during the interval of the award.
