The Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Cell Biology and the West Virginia University (WVU) Cancer Institute seek a distinguished scientist for a tenure-track faculty position (rank open) to further their scientific exploration in cancer immunology.  The successful candidate will be a recognized investigator with a PhD or MD/PhD degree, post-doctoral training and a track record of independent research, demonstrated by high quality publications in peer-reviewed journals and extramural funding commensurate with years of experience.  The search committee is especially interested in candidates who through their research, teaching, and service will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.

This joint recruitment provides an exceptional opportunity to participate in robust, interdisciplinary basic and translational research and training programs in a highly collaborative atmosphere.  The appointed faculty will conduct research in cancer immunology and teach immunology to medical, graduate and undergraduate students.  Candidates with research programs focused on immunological function in gastrointestinal or brain malignancies and/or cancer immunotherapy and vaccine development are strongly encouraged to apply.  Dedicated laboratory space and competitive operating funds will be provided. Salary and academic rank will be determined based on qualifications and experience.
