The University of Chicago's Ben May Department for Cancer Research is
searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor whose research focuses
on the mechanisms of the emergence of cancer drug resistance. In line
with the strategic development of tumor metabolism research at the
University of Chicago, the appointee will explore how cancers (e.g.,
breast cancer or prostate cancer) develop resistance to
molecularly-targeted therapies by altering utilization of different
metabolic pathways. The appointee will also make use of model systems
and approaches that are relevant to translation of their findings to the
clinic. Application of scientific discoveries to reduce cancer health
disparities is also of interest.
We expect the appointee will be proposed for an appointment in the
NCI-designated University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer
Center (UCCCC) (http://cancer.uchicago.edu) and collaborate in
multi-disciplinary research with colleagues across the Biological
Sciences and Physical Sciences Divisions, the University of Chicago
Medical Center and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. The
appointee will have access to state-of-the-art core facilities and
outstanding graduate students affiliated with numerous degree-granting
programs in the biological and physical sciences. The appointee will
teach at the undergraduate and/or graduate level. Compensation
(including a generous package of fringe benefits) is dependent upon
qualifications.
Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must have a
doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be considered, those interested must apply online through the
University of Chicago's Academic Recruitment job board, which uses
Interfolio to accept applications: http://apply.interfolio.com/146469.
Applicants must upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae with
bibliography, contact information for three references, a short summary
of research plans, and a teaching statement. Review of applications ends
when the position is filled.
