Cures Start Here. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home to three Nobel laureates, interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists seek new and innovative ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch’s pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer. An independent, nonprofit research institute based in Seattle, Fred Hutch houses the nation’s first cancer prevention research program, as well as the clinical coordinating center of the Women’s Health Initiative and the international headquarters of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. Careers Start Here.

Potential research projects include studies on the mechanisms of transcription activators and the genome-wide roles of transcription coactivators and regulatory factors. A variety of approaches such as genomics, molecular genetics, biochemistry and computational biology will be utilized. The precise topic of the research project will be determined jointly with the candidate and candidates that display initiative and independence will be given priority.
