Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey invites applications for an open rank, tenure track faculty position with a research focus in tumor immunology including cancer immunotherapy, immunometabolism, CAR-T therapy, checkpoint blockade, T cell biology, tumor antigens, tumor immune evasion, and viral and non-viral gene transfer and gene editing. The successful candidate will join a team of researchers and clinicians of the newly established Cancer Immunology and Metabolism Center of Excellence, a $30 million initiative co-directed by Drs.

The Program is built on our existing strengths in cancer metabolism and immunological research in partnership with Princeton University, and its clinical translation through our robust CAR-T therapy program with onsite GMP manufacturing and first-in-human clinical trials. The research program is based on an iterative bench to bedside strategy of investigator-initiated research in which laboratory discovery drives clinical trials, and clinical trials drive laboratory research. This is an exciting opportunity to join a developing world class cancer immunology and immunotherapy program and a cellular therapy center of excellence. Attractive laboratory packages exist for qualified candidates.
