Scholar Advisors

Our scholar advisors range from undergraduate students through early career faculty career levels. They are required to be actively conducting cancer-related research under the mentorship of a Siteman member.

Scholar advisors are expected to attend quarterly advisement meetings with the full committee and participate in working groups to guide various projects such as the annual Cancer Research Symposium. Scholar advisors may also be given the opportunity to lead new initiatives as part of Siteman’s CRTEC.
