| Company Information:
Located in Houston, MD Anderson Cancer Center has been ranked for the last five consecutive years as the leading cancer care and research institution in the country. It also enjoys a great reputation for promoting career development for postdoctoral fellows. For example, in 2007, MD Anderson was ranked No. 1 as the “Best Places to Work” for postdocs by The Scientist. Recently the department has grown rapidly, bringing together cancer biologists, computational biologists, biostatisticians, software engineers, and medical professionals. We have been designated as a Genome Data Analysis Center for The Cancer Genome Atlas Project (TCGA), a $280 million project of the NIH. We also have direct links with the Baylor Human Genome Sequencing Center, one of the largest sequencing facilitates in the United States, and with Rice University. Together, we provide an extremely stimulating environment for high-impact, creative research dedicated to scientific progress, but also to the welfare of cancer patients and their families. Houston is the 4th largest city in the U.S., featuring an interesting and diverse city life, great neighborhoods, year-round recreational and entertainment opportunities, and with very little snow or ice.

MD Anderson Cancer Center is a smoke-free and drug-free environment. The Departments of Behavioral Science and Health Disparities Research provide an unusually rich opportunity for collegial interaction, and an exceptional infrastructure for behavioral and methodological research. Specialized research areas include: adherence and compliance, primary prevention (screening and early detection), tertiary prevention (quality of life and survivor adjustment issues), quantitative psychology, and public health.
