Job description
Assistant or Associate Professor in Cancer Biology
Yale Cancer Biology Institute (YCBI), part of the Yale Comprehensive Cancer Center (YCC) at Yale University School of Medicine, invites applications from basic and physician scientists for Assistant or Associate Professor, on term positions in the Traditional Track. Appointment at Yale is available in a number of departments, and rank will be commensurate with experience and accomplishments. Applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. or equivalent degree and have demonstrated excellence in research and education. The successful candidates will have experience in the field of cancer biology, with specific target areas being cancer metabolism, chemical biology, cancer genetics and genomics, epigenetics, tumor microenvironment, and immune cell signaling. Responsibilities include establishing a vigorous and independently funded research program in cancer biology, supervising and mentoring students with diverse backgrounds, and contributing to the graduate and medical school educational missions. We seek individuals with strong records of independent creative accomplishments, who will interact productively with colleagues within YCBI, across the Yale West Campus, the Yale Cancer Center, and the University generally - taking advantage of unique opportunities to translate basic science from the Institute into clinical practice.
