About the position
The Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC) at Dartmouth Health and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth invites outstanding board-certified/board-eligible lab-based physician-scientists to apply for an Assistant Professor faculty position within the interdepartmental Cancer Signaling, Genomes, and Networks program (Cancer SiGNs) of DCC. We seek an enthusiastic and collaborative individual who will develop an innovative laboratory-based program in translational cancer research focused on elucidating new oncogenic mechanisms and/or developing novel therapeutic approaches. Candidates that use modern genetic, biochemical, pharmacological, bioinformatic, or other innovative approaches to achieve these research goals are encouraged to apply. Exceptional candidates at senior ranks may also be considered. As one of 53 NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, DCC offers a dynamic and interactive research and clinical environment with a commitment to research excellence. The successful candidate will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities and a vibrant, multi-disciplinary Cancer Biology graduate student training program. DCC members benefit from highly collaborative and collegial interactions across the entirety of Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Health, inclusive of other departments at Geisel, the School of Arts & Sciences, the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, the Thayer School of Engineering, and the Tuck School of Business, with cross-Dartmouth interactions catalyzed by the Byrne Family Cancer Research Institute. In addition to interactions within DCC, candidates may benefit additionally from four existing NIH Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBREs) and recent major investments in Precision Prevention, Next Generation Immunotherapy, and the Dartmouth Innovation Accelerator for Cancer. Successful candidates are expected to develop and advance an independent research program in translational cancer biology. Expectations for teaching and mentoring are a part of this role, and individuals will be provided with such opportunities through membership in the Molecular and Cellular Biology (which includes the Cancer Biology Program track) and/or Quantitative Biomedical Sciences PhD graduate programs. A generous start-up package including 80% protected research time, as well as access to state-of-the-art research facilities, will be provided. Departmental appointment(s) will be determined by the candidate's clinical training and desired area of practice.
