Fred Hutch
Faculty Position in Fundamental Mechanisms of Metastasis
Fred Hutch, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Overview
THE CENTER FOR METASTASIS RESEARCH EXCELLENCE (MET-X) at the 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, fosters collaboration, and provides robust infrastructure to support scientific success. We seek applicants who share our goals of discovering and exploiting biologic, metabolic, and immunologic vulnerabilities of disseminated tumor cells to prevent lethal metastases; uncovering novel tissue-specific and/or systemic vulnerabilities of metastases; and developing curative paradigms based on these discoveries. We encourage scientists with multidisciplinary expertise in studying evolution of metastases and critical vulnerabilities of metastatic tumors, particularly those innovating high-resolution, multi-dimensional approaches (e.g., spatial transcriptomics, high-throughput functional genomics, mass-spec imaging, intravital imaging). We will consider PhD, MD/PhD, or MD scientists at all faculty ranks (incoming Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor). On-site presence at Fred Hutch is expected. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent nonprofit organization focused on cancer treatment and groundbreaking research. It operates eight clinical care sites and collaborates with hospitals across multiple states, with a mission to discover new cures and improve life beyond cancer. Our values include collaboration, compassion, determination, excellence, innovation, integrity and respect, and we welcome applicants who bring diverse perspectives and problem-solving approaches. Responsibilities
Lead a research program focused on uncovering fundamental mechanisms and therapeutic vulnerabilities of cancer metastasis using advanced experimental or computational approaches. Collaborate within MET-X and Fred Hutch to advance goals related to metastasis biology, tissue-specific/systemic vulnerabilities, and potential curative paradigms. Perform primary activities on-site at Fred Hutch. Qualifications
PhD, MD/PhD, MD or foreign equivalent. Expertise in high-resolution, multi-dimensional approaches to study metastases is preferred. Open to applicants at all faculty ranks (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor). Application Materials
CV Three-page research statement describing current and future research interests One-page mentorship and training statement addressing mentorship philosophy, actions to foster collaborative training and inclusive environments Three confidential letters of recommendation (restrictions vary by rank) Important Dates and Process
Applications received by November 3, 2025 will be guaranteed consideration; later applications may be considered if the position remains open. Virtual interviews are possible in December 2025; in-person interviews in January–February 2026. For questions, contact MET-X’s program administrator: Ms. Eirin Krane (ekrane@fredhutch.org). Compensation and Benefits
Base salary ranges by rank and degree type are provided (PhD researchers: Assistant $183,585–$205,428; Associate $205,707–$239,585; Full $234,970–$363,282. MD physician-scientists: Assistant $214,187–$491,893; Associate $255,843–$554,726; Full $287,056–$656,515). Pay is based on experience and qualifications. The position may include relocation assistance and a sign-on bonus. Fred Hutch offers a comprehensive benefits package including health, retirement, paid time off, family leave, and other programs.
