A behavioral science agenda would ideally focus on interventions to reduce the burden of obesity and the downstream obesity-associated cancers.

The successful candidate will have a PhD degree in relevant population science fields such as public health, epidemiology, implementation science, behavioral science, sociology, and nutrition, or an MD degree with additional substantive research training.

Applicants must have a strong record of funded research, peer‑reviewed publications, and evidence of mentorship experience.
