Tenure-Track Faculty Position in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth

The Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology (BCB) and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC) at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth invite applications for a tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor to join our Cancer Biology and Therapeutics (CBT) Research Program.  Exceptional candidates at senior ranks may also be considered.

We seek an outstanding and highly collaborative individual to develop an innovative research program in translational cancer research, including but not limited to the study of vertebrate models of cancer, development of novel therapeutic strategies for cancer, and structural biology of cancer drug targets.  NCCC, one of 47 NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, offers a dynamic and interactive environment, with a commitment to research excellence commensurate with Dartmouth’s status as an R1: Doctoral University – Highest Research Activity in the Carnegie Classification. The successful candidate will have access to thriving multidisciplinary graduate programs through the Guarini School of Graduate and Advances Studies (e.g., Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Program in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences, and the Program in Experimental & Molecular Medicine). In addition to NCCC, faculty members in the BCB Department benefit from highly collaborative and collegial interactions across Dartmouth, inclusive of other departments at Geisel, the School of Arts & Sciences, and the Thayer School of Engineering. In addition, candidates may benefit from interactions with three current NIH Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBREs), Dartmouth’s supercomputing networks (e.g., Discovery); and Dartmouth's Clinical and Translational Science Institute (SYNERGY). A generous start-up package as well as access to state-of-the-art research facilities will be provided. Successful candidates are expected to develop a robust research program and excel in graduate student teaching. Applicants should have a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree with relevant post-doctoral training and a track record of research productivity.

Application materials should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of research accomplishments and goals that emphasizes the clinical cancer relevance of their research (up to 3 pages), and three letters of recommendation. Application materials should be uploaded electronically to: https://apply.interfolio.com/59787. Review of applications will begin February 15^th and continue until it is filled.
