CNRC Postdoctoral Training Program Admissions and Benefits

Those interested in postdoctoral research training at the Children's Nutrition Research Center should review the various research opportunities described under CNRC areas of research and contact one of our faculty members to discuss an area (or areas) of primary interest. Interested applicants may also search for open postdoctoral training opportunities in Pediatrics – Nutrition at the BCM Careers Website.

If you will be funded by individual grant support, contact that investigator directly. If a mutual arrangement is found, the postdoctoral fellow can be accepted into the postdoctoral training program with the commitment of both the PI and the fellow that they will fully participate in the postdoctoral education program.

No application deadline exists when a postdoctoral fellow is to be supported on non-CNRC funds, such as an individual faculty member’s research grant. Funding by the CNRC: Calls for applications are submitted to CNRC faculty before an opening becomes available.

Selection is based on applicant qualifications, appropriateness of the proposed research project to the CNRC faculty and objectives, and funding sources. CNRC investigators will work with accepted postdoctoral fellows to arrange a mutually agreeable research project.

Baylor College of Medicine Careers website provides information about the many benefits available to postdoctoral researchers as employees of the College.
