As one of the first medical schools in the country, the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine (COM) has a reputation for training best-in-class health care professionals and developing cutting-edge procedures and research that improves the health and clinical care of patients. In partnership with the UC Health academic healthcare system and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, College of Medicine’s faculty are transforming the world of medicine every day. The Department of Cancer Biology is a top-tier department with world-renowned faculty and staff.

 

The Department of Cancer Biology is seeking two full time tenure-track faculty (https://med.uc.edu/cancerbiology) at the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine. The department is expanding and seeking applications from highly qualified and innovative independent cancer researchers. The rank of the appointment (Assistant/Associate Professor) is open and will be commensurate with the professional accomplishments of the selected applicant.

 

The search is open to all candidates that aim to address fundamental questions in cancer biology.  We especially encourage applications from investigators who have impressive command of 1) innovative cutting-edge analytical approaches in cancer chemical biology (e.g., metabolomics, bioorthogonal chemistry, biochemical engineering, metallobiochemistry, drug development, synthetic biology) and 2) emerging systems-level technologies to discover mechanisms of cancer biology (e.g., spatial ‘omics technologies, imaging, data informatics, directed evolution, artificial intelligence). Candidates whose research focus will complement and/or augment the current Department of Cancer Biology interests in cancer metabolism, cell signaling, gene regulation, hormone-dependent tumors, environmentally induced tumors, and tumor microenvironment will be prioritized.
