Job Profile The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Cancer Center and the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology have made a strategic decision to expand basic sciences cancer research. We invite applications from qualified investigators at the Associate or Full Professor level for a leadership position as Cancer Biology Research Program Co-Leader. The Co-leader will provide scientific leadership for the program
including strategic planning, oversight, mentoring faculty, shaping recruitment and collaboration priorities, and advancing interdisciplinary research. Position Summary: The Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology is a leader in pharmacology research and education. This Department is undergoing a strategic expansion with a focus that includes cancer cell signaling, pharmacology, structural biology, and therapeutics,
highlighted by seven recruitments in the last five years. The Department is defined by a highly collaborative and supportive culture and is a destination for outstanding graduate student and postdoctoral trainees. With renewed institutional investment, the department seeks to continue its strategic growth in partnership with the MCW Cancer Center. The MCW Cancer Center is an integrated partnership of >250 cancer
scientists and physicians within three research programs focused on 1) discovering basic biological processes that promote cancer risk, development, and progression (Cancer Biology Research Program), 2) translating promising scientific discoveries into clinical practice (Discovery and Developmental Therapeutics Research Program), and 3) facilitating research endeavors that reduce cancer risk, improve outcomes, and
enhance quality of life across the cancer care continuum (Cancer Control Research Program). The Cancer Center serves a Catchment Area that includes the eastern-most 29 Wisconsin counties from the northern to southern state borders with 3.36M residents, encompassing 58% of the state’s population. The Cancer Center has an ambitious plan for growth including achievement of NCI designation. As one of the largest U.S.
metro areas without an NCI-designated cancer center, this achievement will have a significant impact on the health and quality of life of the people of southeastern Wisconsin and beyond. The Cancer Biology Research Program plays a central role in this effort, accelerating discovery in cancer signaling, metabolism, genetics and genomics, precision oncology, cancer immunology, tumor microenvironment, and structural
