Faculty Position - Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, us, 37544
Overview
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control is recruiting Faculty Members at the FULL, ASSOCIATE or ASSISTANT level as we expand our mission to conduct innovative clinical, biological, and population-health sciences research and translate findings into strategies to avert or mitigate cancer-treatment-related complications and improve the quality of life of childhood cancer survivors. We seek creative and collaborative scientists with vibrant research programs to join our department as we grow and further expand the mission. Our research uses state-of-the-art approaches to assess adverse outcomes and to design interventions to optimize health. The department and associated Cancer Center Programs include investigators with expertise in epidemiology/biostatistics, oncology/cardiology/neurology/nursing, genetics/bioinformatics, psychology/neuropsychology, exercise science/rehabilitation, symptoms/patient-reported outcomes, and health behavior/health services research. We actively collaborate across Cancer Center Programs, engaging with both clinic- and laboratory-based researchers to advance clinical care and knowledge on childhood cancer and associated late effects, encompassing biological, clinical, and social determinants and mechanisms. Our Department is home to the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study with over 38,000 childhood cancer survivors diagnosed from 1970-1999 in North America, and the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort with over 6,000 clinically assessed childhood cancer survivors treated at St. Jude since 1962. These foundational studies are funded by the National Cancer Institute and are resources for research with comprehensive characterizations of cancer treatment exposures/doses, sequencing data, patient-reported outcomes, and late effects outcomes and measurements. Our Department supports a strong T32 Postdoctoral program and a large staff that maintain and expand activities of the two cohort studies and many ongoing R01-equivalent projects built on those cohorts. Join us in the exciting, rewarding mission of improving lives of childhood cancer survivors through rigorous, cutting-edge research with strong institutional support and commitment. St. Jude is a world-class research institution dedicated to pediatric cancer and other catastrophic diseases of childhood. We are the first and only National Cancer Institute designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children and have been recognized with the highest possible ranking in our recent reviews. Our mission is to advance research and cures for pediatric cancer. St. Jude offers a highly interactive environment with opportunities for independent and collaborative research and long-term institutional support. We value diversity among our faculty, are committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups and women. St. Jude is consistently ranked among top workplaces for diversity and women, and is located in Memphis, Tennessee. Learn more about us at www.stjude.org.
