Civil Engineering Professor Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

Discover Your Career at Emory University
Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community.
Description
The Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology (HMO) in the Emory University School of Medicine is seeking to hire tenure eligible faculty members with expertise in innate immunity and cancer immunology.
Outstanding candidates will be considered at the ranks of Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor. Research in the department encompasses a wide range of mechanistic studies aimed at advancing our understanding of how innate immune pathways shape tumor biology, host responses, and therapeutic outcomes.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, Natural Killer (NK) cell biology, dendritic cell (DC) development and antigen presentation, myeloid-driven immune regulation including MDSCs and macrophage heterogeneity, innate lymphoid cells, innate sensing of stress and metabolic cues, interactions between innate immune cells and the tumor or stromal microenvironment, and innovative microbial, metabolic, engineering, multi-omic, or spatial approaches that reveal new mechanisms of innate tumor immunity.
Faculty in HMO contribute to Emory's broader research mission through participation in initiatives such as the Winship Cancer Institute (an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center), and have opportunity for meaningful interactions with the Lowance Center for Human Immunology, the Emory Vaccine Center, and cross-cutting immunology and cancer programs throughout the School of Medicine. There are extensive opportunities for synergy within Emory and across nearby partner institutions including the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Emory National Primate Research Center, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Faculty members have access to state-of-the-art shared resources and core laboratories for immunology, cancer biology, and translational science, including advanced multi-spectral flow cytometry, single-cell and spatial profiling technologies, imaging facilities, and Emory's Integrated Core Facilities (https://med.emory.edu/research/core_labs/index.html).
Candidates must hold a PhD, MD, MD/PhD, or equivalent degree and have postdoctoral or clinical fellowship experience relevant to innate immunity, immunology, cancer biology, or closely related fields. Selection criteria include a record of scientific productivity appropriate to rank as indicated by primary research publications, evidence of current or potential future extramural funding, synergy with existing research strengths in the department and across the university, and a clear, compelling vision for future research. Successful candidates will be expected to build a dynamic, independent research program focused on innate immune mechanisms that influence human cancer and its treatment. Applicants whose work may complement Emory's AI.Humanity Initiative are encouraged to describe potential alignment.
Applicants must apply online.
The following materials should be compiled into a single PDF:
