Duke and RJR Tobacco Company have established training fellowships honoring the eminent toxicologist, the late Dr. Leon Golberg. The Fellow/Research Associate will have the opportunity to spend at least two years at Duke or RJR under the guidance of one Integrated Toxicology
and Environmental Health Program faculty member and will interact extensively with other ITEHP faculty members during the course of their research. Interested candidates should contact their preferred ITEHP faculty member to discuss this opportunity. ITEHP faculty will submit postdoctoral candidate packages for committee review in mid October.

Applicants will submit the following material to their ITEHP faculty mentor:

Nominee's CV
Nominees's graduate transcript
Nominee's statement of research interests and plans
Letter of support from potential Duke mentor
Two letters of recommendation

Compensation for the Fellow will be at the NIH's 2008 Kirschstein stipend level based on the number years of experience and will include health insurance, $1,000 relocation expense and $500 per year for travel to meetings.
