Cancer Research Faculty Position at NYU Department of Pathology

The Department of Pathology at NYU School of Medicine seeks an established investigator in cancer biology, broadly defined, to synergize and complement the strong basic and translational research activities of the Department. Current cancer research in the Department runs the gamut from basic studies of oncogenes, tumor suppressors, genomic integrity, and the cell cycle to applied and translational projects investigating novel approaches to cancer therapy, including biologics, small molecules, and vaccines, with a strong emphasis on both mouse models and human studies and the interface between cancer and immunology. We are particularly interested in adding to our strength in cancer stem cells, epigenetics and chromatin structure, and the impact of inflammation on the carcinogenic process, but all areas of modern cancer biology will be considered.

Newly renovated research space is available within the Department, including access to attractive and competitive startup funds commensurate with the needs and qualifications of the applicant. Appointments can be made at the Assistant, Associate, or Professor level. The Department of Pathology is situated in the Medical Science Building, central to all research activities at the NYU Langone Medical Center. As the largest basic science department at NYU School of Medicine, the Department of Pathology has faculty interactions with investigators throughout the Medical Center, including the NYU Cancer Institute and Clinical Cancer Center, the Kimmel Center for Biology and Medicine at the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, the Smilow Research Laboratories, Tisch Hospital, Bellevue Hospital Center, the VA Medical Center, and NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. The Department is also home to two vibrant PhD and MD/PhD training programs, including one of the nations top-ranked cancer biology graduate programs, as well as to a research-oriented pathology residency program. Comprehensive research core facilities support the Department's scientists, including facilities for in vitro and in vivo microscopy and imaging, proteomics, genomics, flow cytometry, RNAi screening, experimental histopathology and tissue banking, and bioinformatics.

Located in the heart of New York City, NYU Langone Medical Center is dedicated to making world-class contributions that place service to human health at the center of an academic culture devoted to excellence in research, patient care, and education. We are committed to bringing together outstanding basic scientists and clinical researchers to foster collaborative, multidisciplinary investigation, inspiring new ideas and discoveries; and translating scientific advances more swiftly into new ways of diagnosing and treating patients and preventing disease.
