Lifestyle Medicine and Digital Health Post-Doctoral Associate

The CRANE Lab, within the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (Sylvester; www.sylvester.org) is currently accepting applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship positions in cancer survivorship. The goal of this fellowship is to provide exceptional mentored research and training experiences for its trainees so that they become successful independent leaders in various areas of cancer survivorship research. The overarching goal of the program is to train the next generation of behavioral and biomedical scientists with the necessary skills sets to conduct transformative and impactful research to reduce the burden of cancer in cancer patients and survivors, and their families and communities.

The CRANE Lab is seeking trainees with research interests in the following areas that are well-aligned with the following expertise:
• Technology-supported behavioral interventions, with particular emphasis on wearable devices
• Symptom and toxicities measurement and management
