The successful candidate will join a dynamic and collegial academic setting, and will receive a competitive start-up package, generous laboratory space, state-of -the-art core facilities, and an environment that supports multidisciplinary collaboration. The candidate will be expected to develop an innovative, externally funded research program, contribute to departmental activities, and participate in teaching and trainee mentorship in our NCI-supported graduate program.
