** About the Role    The Department of Immunology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center invites applications for an academic faculty appointment at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor level. Appointment rank will be based on the candidate’s experience, research, and academic accomplishments. Candidates should submit their application along with their cover letter, CV, a brief research statement (no more than 3 pages), and the names of 3 references.
We seek an innovative investigator whose work addresses fundamental questions in tumor immunology or immunotherapy development and application. Roswell Park offers faculty the resources and laboratory space to explore original and compelling scientific problems through an independent program in basic, translational, or clinical research across solid and hematologic malignancies.
We welcome research broadly in tumor immunology, with special emphasis on the tumor microenvironment, cancer immunotherapy and resistance, computational immunology, or fundamental lymphocyte biology. Cancer immunotherapies may include developing engineered cell therapies, cancer vaccines, or recombinant oncolytic viruses alone or in combination with standard of care or other experimental modalities.  For Assistant Professor candidates, we look for the potential to establish and sustain a productive research program.

For Associate Professor candidates, current peer-reviewed funding and a demonstrated ability to sustain such a program are highly preferred.
What You’ll Do  
• Establish or expand an independent research program in tumor immunology and secure external funding to sustain it.  
• Publish research discoveries in peer-reviewed journals of the field and present findings at scientific meetings.  
• Collaborate with scientists, physician-scientists, and clinicians. Where relevant, establish preclinical models or patient specimens to investigate mechanisms of tumor development or progression or therapeutic resistance, and inform new treatment strategies for potential clinical studies.  
• Mentor graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other trainees. Contribute to graduate teaching through Roswell Park’s Tumor Immunology PhD track.  
• Participate in departmental seminars and contribute to the Tumor Immunology & Immunotherapy Program and related Cancer Center Support Grant activities, as appropriate to rank.  
• Lead a research team that values rigorous and responsible science, ethics in the conduct of responsible research, and an inclusive training environment.
About the Department  Roswell Park is a freestanding comprehensive cancer center. Cancer research, patient care, and graduate training are all within the same institution, offering faculty direct opportunities to collaborate with clinicians and across different scientific disciplines. Mentorship of both early-stage faculty and trainees is robust, helping to ensure their success in a setting focused entirely on cancer. Founded in 1898 as the first institution in the world dedicated exclusively to cancer, Roswell Park became one of the three original NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in 1972.
The Department of Immunology is home to an established, externally…
