The purpose of this fellowship, which is supported by funds donated by AstraZeneca, is to provide training in clinical research for physicians and other professionals interested in pursuing academic careers in oncology.  The training programme will be based at the central offices of the NCIC Clinical Trials Group and will offer exposure to all aspects of the design, execution, and analysis of therapeutic cancer trials.  The duration and nature of the training and research experience provided will be tailored to the interests and expertise of the successful candidate.  For example, practicing oncologists could spend a short (e.g. several month) "sabbatical" with the Group or newly trained oncologists could undertake a full fellowship year.  Salary will be determined by National Cancer Institute of Canada scales.  Interested applicants should contact:
