FACULTY POSITION #21299
Assistant or Associate Member, Program in Epidemiology
The Epidemiology Program of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Division of Public Health Sciences is currently recruiting one or more faculty at the Assistant or Associate member level (depending on qualifications), corresponding to Assistant or Associate Professor at the University of Washington, with expertise in cancer epidemiology.

Depending upon the applicant's qualifications and interest, a corresponding faculty appointment at the University of Washington’s Department of Epidemiology is possible; this may include teaching responsibilities in addition to mentoring graduate students and collaborative research activities.


The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is a world-renowned NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center with large and active research programs in Public Health Sciences, including Epidemiology, Prevention, Biostatistics and Biomodeling, Molecular Diagnostics and Cancer Biology. Leading programs in three additional scientific divisions (Basic Sciences, Human Biology, and Clinical Research) and a new cross-division initiative (Vaccine and Infectious Disease Institute) complement the Public Health Sciences division activities. The Epidemiology Program conducts research in a variety of areas, including studies examining lifestyle, environmental, and genetic influences on cancer risk, cancer prevention strategies, determinants of cancer prognosis, and methodologic research. The Cancer Surveillance System, a SEER-funded population-based cancer registry serving the Puget Sound area, is a valuable resource for case ascertainment for studies of etiology and prognosis. Collaborations with laboratory and clinical scientists throughout the Center, the University of Washington, and other local research institutions provide a basis for conducting interdisciplinary studies of genetic susceptibility and cancer biomarkers. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.


Applicants should have a Ph.D. in epidemiology or related field, an MD with additional research degree, or equivalent training. We are seeking candidates with relevant expertise in multidisciplinary research on cancer etiology, prognosis, and/or methodologic research. The incumbent will be expected to establish an active program of independent and collaborative research consistent with the mission of the Epidemiology Program.


To apply for this position, please send applications including curriculum vitae, a letter describing research interests (and, if relevant, teaching interests), and the contact information for four references to:
