NOB Opportunities
Clinical Fellowships
The goal of the NIH Neuro-Oncology Clinical Fellowship Training Program is to prepare neurologists, medical oncologists, and neurosurgeons for academic careers in neuro-oncology. Training experience will include formal coursework in pharmacology and clinical research methodology, biweekly academic conferences, and patient management from a yearly pool of more than 2,000 brain tumor patients from around the country seen each year in our Brain Tumor Clinic. Trainees will participate in the development and implementation of clinical trials for adult brain tumor therapeutics. Fellows will have the opportunity to attend national scientific meetings and will be mentored in pursuit of their clinical, basic, and translational science brain tumor research interests.
For information about the clinical fellowship, please see http://www.cc.nih.gov/training/gme/programs/neuro_oncology.html.
To apply, please e-mail curriculum vitae and two letters of reference to Dr. Teri Kreisl at kreislt@mail.nih.gov
Laboratory Research Training and Fellowships
The overall goal of Neuro-Oncology Branch (NOB) is to develop novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of primary brain tumors (gliomas, specifically) through an understanding, exploitation, and eventual clinical translation of the principles underlying the molecular and genetic pathogenesis of gliomas. To achieve its mission, NOB employs a group of highly motivated and trained professionals, working in areas as diverse as computational biology, molecular biology/genetics, cellular biology, animal models, and translational clinical research.
The NOB laboratory is moderately large (generally between 30–50 people) consisting of Ph.D. or M.D. scientists; graduate, medical, and post-bac students; and a number of technicians who work on a wide array of projects related to the overall mission of the program. Our primary areas of interests are oncogenomics, computational biology, and stem cell biology, specifically with its relationship to glioma initiating stem cells and the tumorigenic process.
