About this opportunity

The Damon Runyon Quantitative Biology Fellowship identifies computational scientists who innovatively combine quantitative analyses and modeling to solve biological questions, particularly in cancer research. This award program supports computational scientists deeply connected to biology labs under joint mentorship of leaders in both computational science ('dry lab') and cancer biology ('wet lab'). The fellowship is designed to help computational scientists trained in fields such as mathematics, computer science, physics, or engineering to pursue research careers in computational biology while bringing their skills to bear on important biological questions in cancer. The program provides three years of funding to support postdoctoral training with the goal of developing productive, independent cancer research scientists who bridge quantitative and biological sciences.
