About this position
The CRANE Lab at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center is recruiting a postdoctoral associate for research in cancer survivorship. The fellowship sits within a strong cancer control and survivorship environment and is designed to support mentored research and training for future independent leaders in this area.
The position focuses on research that connects lifestyle medicine, cancer survivorship, and data analytics. The lab’s interests include technology-supported behavioral interventions, especially those using wearable devices, as well as symptom and toxicity measurement and management, patient-reported outcomes, biobehavioral mechanisms in cancer control, and translational science. The role also aligns with health disparities research in survivorship subgroups and dissemination and implementation approaches.
Researchers in the CRANE Lab and Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center work alongside a broad scientific portfolio in cancer survivorship, a robust health informatics core, and expertise in technology-based and EHR-integrated assessment and intervention tools. The environment emphasizes collaborative projects within and beyond the University of Miami, supporting training in behavioral and biomedical science research for cancer patients, survivors, and their communities.
The position is based at an academic medical center with extensive clinical, educational, and research activity, and is embedded in the University of Miami’s broader research ecosystem.
