Applications are invited for tenure track faculty positions in the Cancer Biology and Genetics Program of the Sloan-Kettering Institute. Successful candidates will carry out independent research on the genesis, progression, prognosis, prevention and treatment of cancer that synergize with ongoing efforts at the Center. Areas of special interest are, but not limited to: cancer genetics, cancer stem cells, metastasis, tumor microenvironment, inflammation and cancer, and animal models of cancer.
New faculty members will join an interactive, interdisciplinary community of scientists and clinicians at the Center, which offers an outstanding basic and translational research environment within expanded state-of-the-art research facilities. Faculty will be eligible to hold graduate school appointments in the Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University, as well as the Tri-Institutional MD/PhD Training Program.
