Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) invites applications for a
faculty position at the Assistant or Associate
Professor level depending on qualifications. We are
looking for individuals with innovative ideas and
strong methodologic skills in epidemiological research
to add to the breadth of expertise of our faculty.

independent research program.
The Cancer Epidemiology Program’s research is focused
on reducing cancer incidence, progression, mortality,
and sequalae through the identification of risk (or
protective) factors, the elucidation of underlying
biologic mechanisms, and the translation of
discoveries into intervention strategies. Through
population, laboratory, and clinic-based studies, the
faculty aim to uncover knowledge that can inform and
improve knowledge of cancer etiology, cancer risk
prediction, prevention, early detection,
prognostication, treatment choice, survival and
overall health. The Program is home to a
long-standing, top-ranked Surveillance, Epidemiology,
and End Results (SEER) Program-funded cancer registry
for Western Washington.
The Cancer Epidemiology Program is part of the Fred
Hutch’s Division of Public Health Sciences, home of an
extensive portfolio of population science research,

training programs for graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows. An appointment with the
University of Washington is possible, depending on
qualifications and interests.
