Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey invites candidates to
apply for a tenure-track faculty position in cancer
epidemiology and/or oncology care delivery research with
demonstrated academic track record of publications and
currently active federal R01 level grant funding. Academic
rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
A joint appointment in another academic department/School will
be supported. Leadership opportunities within the Cancer
Prevention and Control Program are available for candidates
with relevant experience.
The successful candidate will be joining the Population
Science Division, Cancer Prevention and Control Program, at
the Cancer Institute. This group includes resident behavioral
scientists, cancer health disparities researchers, and cancer
epidemiologists, with additional epidemiologists, tobacco
control scientists, and behavioral researchers at the Rutgers
School of Public Health. There are excellent opportunities for
collaborations with the Rutgers School of Public Health, the
Institute for Health, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, RWJ
Barnabas Health System (12 community hospitals across the
state of New Jersey), a cancer hospital in Newark, and
Princeton University. Program members also have strong ties to
the very large South Asian community. The Cancer Institute
houses the SEER New Jersey State Cancer Registry, which
facilitates research through rapid case ascertainment of new
cancer cases. There are also opportunities to be involved in
several ongoing studies, including a cohort of African
American breast cancer survivors and to participate in
research consortia. In addition, the Cancer Institute has four
(4) shared resources available to faculty; 1) biostatistics,
2) data management services via DatStat, 3) a bio-specimen
repository, and; 4) access to ORIEN (Oncology Research
Information Exchange Network), a shared resource for precision
oncology data for epidemiology studies.
The successful applicant will be expected to maintain an
innovative, independent, collaborative and extramurally-funded
research program. Candidates should possess a doctoral degree
related to cancer epidemiology or a health-related profession
with a strong publication record and currently active external
grant funding. Strong preference will be given to applicants
with an established record of accomplishment in
interdisciplinary collaboration as well as innovative ideas
and experience from which to build a strong extramurally
funded research program.
The Cancer Institute of New Jersey is the only NCI-designated
Cancer Center in the state of New Jersey and its location
gives easy access to Manhattan (50 min), Newark airport (30
