The joint postdoctoral position builds on Bayer’s expertise in clinical trials, FIMM’s experience in industry-academic collaborations and research training, and the existing research collaborations in cancer therapeutics. It is designed to offer simultaneous training in cancer research and translation to and management of clinical trials.
