Postdoctoral Fellowships in Tobacco Control Research
The purpose of the fellowship is to attract diverse individuals from a
wide variety of backgrounds in medical, biological, social,
behavioral, and policy sciences to develop a new generation of
academic leaders in tobacco control. Upon completion of training,
fellows will be well positioned to be active participants in crucial
policy debates about the future development and implementation of
tobacco control interventions. The need for tobacco control experts
continues to grow with Congress’ recent legislation granting the US
Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate tobacco products,
passage of health care reform, with its emphasis on disease prevention
and the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco
Control, the world’s first public health treaty.
The fellowship supports two years of postdoctoral training in tobacco
related research. Our program stresses the skills needed to conduct
research in diverse, collaborative transdisciplinary settings. We
emphasize leadership in catalyzing the integration of multiple
disciplines and translating science to policy and clinical practice.
Postdoctoral fellows will have exposure to diverse training including
both didactic coursework and individualized mentoring to build a
personalized research program. Fellows have come from medicine,
public health, nursing, economics, anthropology, political science,
law, sociology, psychology, and cell biology. Prior tobacco research
experience is relevant, but not necessary for acceptance.
We offer individual mentorship with UCSF faculty along with courses in
tobacco specific topics, health policy, cancer control and prevention,
grant and scientific writing skills, career development,
interdisciplinary research, and biostatistics. UCSF is a global
leader in tobacco science, a World Health Organization collaborating
center, and home of the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library. We place a
high priority on developing a fellowship program that reflects the
diverse communities we serve. We encourage qualified applicants from
all backgrounds to apply.
Postdoctoral trainees will receive an annual salary commensurate with
their experience, approximately $38,496 - $53,112, according to the
NIH stipend scale. Learn more about the Center, the fellowship
program, current fellows, and faculty and their research interests at

Applications are due January 25, 2012 for fellowships beginning July
2, 2012.
