Tenure Track Faculty Positions in Precision Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center
The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Cancer Center (CC), Froedtert Health Network (FHN) and Children’s Wisconsin (CW) are launching a transformative Precision Oncology (PO) Iinitiative. This PO Initiative will expand an already robust PO program that includes a strong group of basic and translational investigators interested in cancer genetics, nuclear architecture, and epigenetics, and harnesses a state-of-the-art bioinformatics and sequencing facility, tissue repository, and a robust investigator-initiated clinical trials pipeline. The MCW campus houses the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, the Versiti Blood Research Institute, and the Genomic Sciences and Precision Medicine Center and is the hub for the FHN and CW. MCW, FHN and CW are the inpatient and outpatient market share leaders in cancer care in Southeastern Wisconsin with over 5,000 new cancer diagnoses annually. As part of the PO Initiative, MCW CC will seek the recruitment of 6-8 faculty within the next 3 years.
Available positions
In the inaugural year of the PO search, MCW CC invites applications for faculty positions at the level of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor with the long-term goal of developing novel therapeutic approaches to treat cancer. A particular area of focus is the influence of nuclear architecture (i.e. 4D nucleome) on epigenetics, gene regulation, cancer development, and response to therapy. As such, wet- or dry-bench investigators with expertise in nuclear architecture are encouraged to apply. While a cancer-focused research program is desired, it is not required. In addition, applicants with special expertise in imaging/biophysical based research programs to the address questions involving the 4D nucleome are encouraged to apply.
Academic appointment will be within a MCW department(s) most appropriate for each candidate and can be tailored to provide maximum synergy, along with membership in the MCW CC. These positions provide an attractive start-up package and outstanding opportunities for collaboration with basic, translational, and clinical investigators. Candidates from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
Who are we looking for?
Eligible candidates will have a MD and/or PhD. Successful candidates will have track records of creativity and productivity, a desire to integrate into our exciting, collaborative, and growing community of researchers, and a dedication to contribute to our values of diversity and openness. They will be expected to mount a productive and innovative research program, obtain extramural funding, and participate actively in education, training, and mentorship. MCW is intent on attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce and faculty body that reflects the community we serve. We value diversity of backgrounds, experience, and thought to advance excellence in science and medicine.

Tenure-Track Faculty Position, RNA Therapeutics Institute
The RNA Therapeutics Institute (RTI) at the University of Massachusetts Medical School invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position. Successful candidates will conduct innovative research to understand normal physiology and development, probe disease mechanisms, or develop novel diagnostics or therapies. Candidates need not necessarily conduct research directly focused on RNA biology or development of RNA therapeutics, but should indicate how their research will synergize with ongoing research within the RTI and the greater UMass Medical School community.
Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to: (1) genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics in model and non-model organisms, (2) human genetics and pathophysiology, (3) structural biology, (4) chemical biology, and (5) use of nucleic acids for diagnosis or therapy. Physician scientists, synthetic chemists, materials scientists, computational researchers, bioengineers, geneticists, cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, and biophysicists are all encouraged to apply. Also desired are scientists with significant industrial experience who wish to return to academia.
The RTI is housed in a state-of-the-art research building, and is central to a campus-wide interdisciplinary initiative in RNA therapeutics and gene therapy designed to facilitate collaboration among basic scientists, preclinical investigators, and clinicians. As a recipient of a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the NIH, UMass Medical School seeks to build an environment in which basic, applied, and clinical researchers collaborate to inform our understanding of human disease and accelerate development of novel diagnostics and therapies.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, one-page description of your current research, two-page description of future research plans, and contact information for three references to http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14272. Do not include citations or other potentially self-identifying information in the research description or future plans. Applications will be reviewed expeditiously, with interviews commencing in January. Inquiries (but not application materials) may be directed to Tiffanie Gardner at Tiffanie.Gardner{at}umassmed.edu. Applications at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels will be considered. The position will remain open until filled.

Genomics of Developmental Disorders
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Aravinda Chakravarti, PhD, at NYU Langone’s Center for Human Genetics and Genomics. The Chakravarti Lab focuses on the molecular genetic basis of human disease, using experimental, quantitative, and animal model approaches. A major project is on the genetic and functional dissection of Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR), a multifactorial disorder of the enteric nervous system resulting from failure of intestinal innervation. Given our extensive gene discovery in HSCR we are now interested in the developmental mechanisms that are compromised in HSCR and, in turn, how normal innervation occurs.
The ideal candidate will hold a PhD and/or an MD in genetics or developmental biology and have some experience in genomics and computation; knowledge of human genetics is a plus. We are looking for a creative individual with a strong publication record and advanced expertise in experimental studies.
To apply or to obtain more information about the position, please contact Dr. Chakravarti at aravinda.chakravarti{at}nyulangone.org. Applicants should include a CV, a one-page research statement, and the names of three references.
