Expertise in a broad range of cancer-focused areas is welcome, including but not limited to: cancer genetics, epigenetics, computational and bioengineering approaches, metabolism, signaling, tumor evolution, heterogeneity, immunotherapy, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment. Candidates must have a proven track record of scientific discovery in basic and/or translational cancer research. The primary DGSOM department in which the candidate's faculty appointment will reside will be determined based on a mutually agreed upon assessment of the most appropriate department based on the selected candidate's research focus.
Candidates are particularly sought who have the following:
• A strong peer-reviewed publication record.
