                      <div>The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship
                        Program supports qualified young scientists at
                        leading universities and research centers around
                        the world who wish to receive training in cancer
                        immunology.<br>
                        <br>
                        A panel of scientists drawn from the Institute's
                        Scientific Advisory Council rigorously evaluates
                        each candidate, the intended sponsor and
                        training environment, and the nature and
                        feasibility of the proposed project.<br>
                        <br>
                        The Institute seeks hypothesis driven,
                        mechanistic studies in both immunology and tumor
                        immunology. The applicant and sponsor must
                        clearly state the potential of the proposed
                        studies to directly impact our understanding of
                        the immune system's role in cancer risk, tumor
                        initiation, progression, metastasis, host
                        response to tumors and/or the treatment of
                        cancer.<br>

                              must fall into the broad field of
                              immunology and must show relevance to
                              solving the cancer problem. Proposals that

                              be considered.</li>
                            <li>Applicants must have a doctoral degree
                              by the date of award activation and must

                              of residency in this calculation.</li>
                            <li>Only in exceptional circumstances will
                              applicants who have already spent 3 or
                              more years in a sponsor's laboratory by

                              considered for a fellowship award.</li>
                            <li>The fellowship can be performed in the
                              United States or abroad, but must take
                              place at a non-profit institution. There
                              are no citizenship restrictions.</li>
                            <li>Only one fellow per sponsor may apply
                              per application round, and faculty
