LTDL has a new collection of documents available to explore - the Research Collections. These are smaller collections of industry documents that were gathered by individuals and/or organizations during the course of specific research or litigation.
We have acquired the following individual research collections from Tobacco Documents Online (TDO) and will be adding more collections in the near future:
Please access http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/about/about_research_collections.jsp for more information on these new collections.
Applications are due by January 27, 2010, for fellowships beginning July 1, 2010.
The fellowship supports two years of postdoctoral training in tobacco related research. 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 an array of disciplines, including medicine, public health, nursing, economics, political science, law, sociology, psychology, and cell biology.
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.
Postdoctoral trainees will receive an annual salary commensurate with their experience, approximately $37,000-$51,000, according to the NIH stipend scale. Academic Background Required: Doctorate/Equivalent Degree.
Applicants may learn more about the Center, the fellowship program, and review the list of UCSF faculty and their research interests at our website, tobacco.ucsf.edu.
