Continuation of appointment is contingent upon satisfactory performance. The University of Hawaii Cancer Center (UHCC), an NCI-Designated Cancer Center, is seeking an established investigator with research focused in gastrointestinal, genitourinary, breast, lung, or skin cancers (cancers of high incidence and with disparities in Hawaii), or cancer immunotherapy for a tenure track position in the Cancer Biology Program.

The Cancer Biology program hosts scientists who are at the forefront of cancer research in molecular biology, gene x environment interactions, drug development and translational research. Researchers who may interact synergistically with other UHCC researchers, either because of similar research interests or because they contribute expertise in areas that could integrate with current research activities and who have NCI or other National peer reviewed funding, are the ideal candidates. Among the many core facilities and equipment available are ones supporting Genomics and Bioinformatics, Single Cell Genomics, Metabolomics, Analytical Biochemistry, Biostatistics, Pathology, Drug Discovery, Flow Cytometry and Microscopy.

Opportunities and infrastructure are also available for translational research. The successful candidate will join a team of diverse and dynamic researchers devoted to groundbreaking research into the underlying mechanisms driving cancer and to developing novel diagnostics and therapeutics for cancer. Assistant Professor Duties and Responsibilities: Perform cancer research focused in gastrointestinal, genitourinary, breast, lung, or skin cancers (cancers of high incidence and with disparities in Hawaii), or cancer immunotherapy.
