UICC (Union for International Cancer Control) Professional Studentships

The UICC (Union for International Cancer Control) Professional Studentships offer a unique opportunity for undergraduate and postgraduate students worldwide to engage in cancer control research. These studentships are designed to support early-career researchers in gaining hands-on experience in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care. Recipients will work under the mentorship of leading experts in the field, contributing to projects that aim to reduce the global cancer burden. The program typically covers travel, subsistence, and research costs for a period of up to six months. Eligibility criteria include enrollment in a relevant degree program or recent graduation, a strong academic record, and a clear research proposal aligned with UICC’s mission. Applicants must be from countries with limited resources for cancer research, as the program emphasizes capacity building in low- and middle-income settings. The application process involves submitting a detailed project plan, letters of support, and evidence of institutional affiliation. Successful candidates will gain invaluable skills, expand their professional network, and contribute to impactful research.

This studentship is a stepping stone for a career in global health and cancer control.
