Assistant, Associate or Full Professor, in the Division of
Public Health Sciences or in the Division of Clinical
Research.
The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) is recruiting a
full-time faculty member at the Assistant, Associate or Full
Professor level in the Public Health Sciences or Clinical
Research Division at Fred Hutch whose work is focused on
cancer research in Indigenous, American Indian, and/or Alaska
Native populations. Areas of research could include but are
not limited to primary prevention, cancer screening and early
detection, etiology, survivorship, social determinants of
health, behavioral science, epidemiology, dissemination and
implementation science, observational studies, development and
testing of interventions, and clinical trials on one or more
cancers relevant to Indigenous populations.
At Fred Hutch we believe that the innovation, collaboration,
and rigor that result from diversity, equity, and inclusion
are critical to our mission of eliminating cancer, infectious
diseases, and understanding mechanisms of disease. While
research conducted at Fred Hutch has a global impact, we are
particularly focused on meeting the needs of populations in
our local catchment area which is the state of Washington.
Indigenous communities are one of our primary priority
populations given the persistent cancer disparities Indigenous
people continue to experience. Through this faculty
recruitment we seek to enhance our capacity to conduct
impactful cancer research in partnership with Indigenous
communities.
Candidates should have experience conducting research in
partnership with Indigenous communities using community-based
participatory research approaches. The successful candidate
will establish an independent research program within Fred
Hutch's collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. There is
an opportunity to collaborate with the newly developed
Indigenous Cancer Health Equity Initiative (ICHE-i), which
integrates Indigenous relationality, sustainability, and
holistic approaches as core values to engage and support the
institution's capacity to cultivate Tribal-Academic-Research
partnerships, center Tribal Sovereignty, and increase
Indigenous patient advocacy for cancer health equity among
tribes and Urban Indian Organizations in WA.
Applicants must have a MD and/or PhD (or foreign equivalent)
in a research area relevant to their research program that may
be in one or more of the following areas: anthropology,
behavioral science, cancer disparities, clinical care,
clinical research, communication, decision sciences,
dissemination and implementation science, epidemiology, health
economics, health services, health policy, precision oncology,
psychology, translational research, or other related fields.
