    <![CDATA[The Department of Cancer and Cell Biology at the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine, and the Division of Experimental Hematology and Cancer Biology of the Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation invite applications for joint tenure-track and tenured faculty positions at all levels.  Individuals recruited for full and associate professor positions are expected to lead internationally recognized and well funded research programs. Assistant professor candidates must have an outstanding publication record and demonstrated potential to secure external grant funding. These positions will be based on laboratories in the Department of Cancer and Cell Biology with appointments in the Department and at the Division of Experimental Hematology and Cancer Biology at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
We are seeking investigators interested in understanding the cellular and molecular aspects of human cancer, including studies of mouse knockout and knockin models and the cancer stem cell concept, with an interest in establishing links with medical oncologists and pathologists.

The Department of Cancer and Cell Biology is an important part of the basic research of the Cincinnati Cancer Consortium. It occupies the Vontz Center for Molecular Studies, a 35,000-square feet, state-of-the-art research facility designed by world-renowned architect Frank O. Gehry.  

Current Cancer Biology faculty at both institutions lead highly visible research programs related to the signal transduction pathways central to various types of cancer. These include the role of aPKC, NF-kB, AKT, S6K/mTOR, Caspase2, DNA-PKcs, FANCs, NF1/NF2, Rac and Cdc42, in cell signaling in the development of prostate, lung, liver, breast, brain and hematological cancers. Other areas of strength include studies of tumor suppressor proteins, chromatin remodeling, cell cycle checkpoints and hypoxia. Our graduate program includes ~45 graduate students and a strong cadre of postdoctoral fellows, many of whom are supported by NIH training grants (http://cancerbiology.uc.edu and http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/research/div/exp-hematology).

These positions are funded by the Joint Cancer Program, an important part of Cincinnati Cancer Consortium, in a concerted effort to expand cancer focused research in Cincinnati.
Qualified individuals can apply by submitting a CV, statement of research interests and names of referees to position number 29UC5144 via the University of Cincinnati employment website: www.jobsatuc.com.
