    Sanford Burnham Prebys (SBP) is currently accepting applications for postdoctoral training in our exciting T32 Program: Cancer Targets and New Drug Discovery.

    The goal of this 2-year training program is to establish an innovative multi-thematic graduate student and postdoctoral training program to train the next generation of leaders in cancer target discovery and validation, cancer drug discovery, and biomarker development. Through this program, advanced graduate students and postdocs will be trained in the skills needed to execute a successful cancer drug discovery project using novel paradigms and state-of-the-art technologies. The program includes a 2-month biotech company internship and training in scientific entrepreneurship.

    Postdoctoral participants in the program will expand a research project to include any of the following specific aims of the program:

    1. The discovery and validation of novel cancer drug targets in the context of signaling networks, mechanisms of genetic and epigenetic regulation, and exploring non-traditional targets.

    2. The discovery of small molecule probes to interrogate novel cancer targets.

    3. The pursuit of mechanistic studies of cancer signaling pathways using probe inhibitors.

    4. The exploration of entrepreneurship in cancer drug discovery.

    In addition to scientific training, postdocs will participate in professional development programs through which they will gain skills in leadership and management, as well as an understanding of the vast array of career paths available to them following their education and training.
