Postdoc Recruitment Event

Notification

Applications will be screened for eligibility and completeness. All candidates will be notified by email regarding the status of their applications by Mar 28, 2024.

Next Steps

Following your confirmation of acceptance, you will be invited to attend a two-day in-person conference in May 2024 . You will work with the PRE team to arrange your travel and solidify your meeting schedule. During the visit, you will attend seminars to learn about the science, training, and career development opportunities at NCI and NIH and network with investigators, staff, and current postdocs.

Meetings during the PRE are meant to be networking opportunities but may also serve as interviews if you are close to receiving your degree. You may also be invited back to interview at a future date; however, PRE will not cover the cost for a second visit. Please note, if you are attending graduate school on an F1 visa, you must become a permanent resident or convert to a J1 visa if you accept a postdoc position.

Note: In order to be approved for logistical and physical access to NIH facilities and systems, candidates must be able to pass a federal background check.

While PRE does not guarantee a postdoc position, the majority of participants receive official interviews as a direct result of the program. Over the last 5 years, 42% of PRE participants who pursued a postdoc are/have completed their postdoc at the NCI.
