The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in cancer biology spanning cancer signaling and genomics to an understanding of tumor heterogeneity and plasticity and its impact on therapeutic response and relapse (drug resistance).  A consistent track record of publications in top tier journals is required together with strong communication and management skills. The position will involve close collaboration with other research labs in research oncology including Molecular Oncology, Translational Oncology, and Cancer Immunotherapy as well as investigators in areas such as bioinformatics, proteomics, imaging, and small molecule and large molecule drug discovery. As a senior member of the Department, the successful candidate will be expected to mentor junior colleagues as well as lab members in rigorous research, smart decision making and career development. He/she will be expected to publish their research in high quality journals and participate in the scientific leadership of Molecular Oncology.
