Life Science Washington
Faculty Position in Fundamental Mechanisms of Metastasis
Life Science Washington, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Overview
The Center for Metastasis Research eXcellence (MET-X) at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) is launching an open-rank faculty search for an interdisciplinary scientist to lead a research program focused on uncovering fundamental mechanisms and therapeutic vulnerabilities of cancer metastasis using the most sophisticated experimental or computational approaches.
MET-X is a dynamic research environment that encourages bold risks, with forums and financial mechanisms to foster collaboration, and robust physical and intellectual infrastructure to support scientific success. We seek applicants who share our goals of: (i) discovering and exploiting biologic, metabolic, and immunologic vulnerabilities of disseminated tumor cells to prevent their evolution into lethal metastases; (ii) uncovering novel tissue-specific and/or systemic vulnerabilities of metastases; and (iii) developing curative paradigms based on these discoveries.
Scientists with multidisciplinary expertise in studying the evolution of metastases and uncovering critical vulnerabilities of metastatic tumors are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to those who are innovating high-resolution, multi-dimensional approaches (for example spatial transcriptomics, high-throughput functional genomics, mass-spec based imaging, and/or intravital imaging) to address this problem. Scientists studying related processes (e.g., tissue regeneration) are also encouraged to apply. We will consider PhD, MD/PhD, or MD scientists at all faculty ranks (incoming Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor).
Faculty are expected to perform their primary activities on-site at Fred Hutch.
