Conditions:

This advertisement is for an 11-month, tenure-track faculty position, to begin approximately Summer 2025. Continuation of appointment is contingent upon satisfactory performance. The University of Hawaii Cancer Center (UHCC), an NCI-Designated Cancer Center, is seeking an established investigator with research focused in gastrointestinal, genitourinary, breast, lung, or skin cancers (cancers of high incidence and with disparities in Hawaii), or cancer immunotherapy for a tenure track position in the Cancer Biology Program.

The Cancer Biology program hosts scientists who are at the forefront of cancer research in molecular biology, gene x environment interactions, drug development and translational research. Researchers who may interact synergistically with other UHCC researchers, either because of similar research interests or because they contribute expertise in areas that could integrate with current research activities and who have NCI or other National peer reviewed funding, are the ideal candidates.

Among the many core facilities and equipment available are ones supporting Genomics and Bioinformatics, Single Cell Genomics, Metabolomics, Analytical Biochemistry, Biostatistics, Pathology, Drug Discovery, Flow Cytometry and Microscopy. Opportunities and infrastructure are also available for translational research. The successful candidate will join a team of diverse and dynamic researchers devoted to groundbreaking research into the underlying mechanisms driving cancer and to developing novel diagnostics and therapeutics for cancer.

• Perform cancer research focused in gastrointestinal, genitourinary, breast, lung, or skin cancers (cancers of high incidence and with disparities in Hawaii), or cancer immunotherapy.
• Pursue an independent line of investigation that is competitive for national grants such as from the National Cancer Institute.
• Collaborate with faculty members of the UH Cancer Center, the Hawaii Cancer Consortium, other UH departments, and community-based health care providers on research projects, researcher training/mentoring, and other academic activities.
• Seek collaborative research opportunities where Hawaii has an advantage due to its special multi-ethnic population with disparate outcomes and its unique flora and fauna as sources of anticancer compounds.
• May supervise postgraduate students (PhD or MS) and participate in graduate level teaching.
• Perform scholarly activities as assigned.

• Same duties and responsibilities as Assistant Professor but will require greater accountability for more complex projects.
• Serve as a role model within the UH Cancer Center, the UH, and in the national or international research, academic, and/or medical community.
• May assist in the administration of the program and with other related professional and scientific research endeavors.
