The Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center invites applicants to its ICARE Post-Baccalaureate Fellows Program. Applications are due by February 16, 2024 for best consideration with a final deadline of March 17, 2024.

Eligible students are U.S. Citizens or permanent residents. Applicants should have graduated in 2023 or 2024 from a four-year college or university and seek additional research experience before applying to graduate school for a doctoral degree.

If interested in post-baccalaureate positions elsewhere on the University of Iowa campus, ICARE would encourage you to review available research internship positions.

OF RESEARCH AND CAREER COACHING

Vaughn, Hayley.jpeg

"As a previous participant of a post-bac research program at University of Iowa, I can say the experience allowed me to obtain necessary research experience that graduate programs desire. Also, it allowed me to be immersed with graduate students, faculty members, and courses - so that when I started grad school, I had a relatively lighter class load and faculty I still keep in contact with regularly."   

 

~ Hayley Vaughn, current PhD student
