Job Description:
The Department of Systems Biology seeks an Associate Research
Scientist to be appointed as an Irving Cancer Early Scholar of
Cancer Research.
VISION: The National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Herbert
Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) of Columbia University
Irving Medical Center invites applications for brilliant early
career scientists to join a new program for Irving Cancer Early
Scholars of Cancer Research. Initial appointments as Associate
Research Scientists will be in the Department of Systems Biology
for 3 years, after which Irving Cancer Early Scholars may seek
tenure-track faculty positions at Columbia or other institutions.
All assistant professor tenure track appointments require a
national search and there will be no waiver from the Columbia
University standard search process for individuals based on
participation in this program. The HICCC hosts a vibrant community
of highly-interactive investigators with interests in key areas of
cancer research. We are now seeking new PhDs, MDs, or MD/PhDs to
serve as Principal Investigators and fast-track to faculty rank
without the need to undertake a traditional postdoctoral
fellowship. These Scholars will pursue creative experimental or
computational approaches to cancer research in the basic,
translational, clinical, and/or population sciences.
GOALS/OBJECTIVES: Irving Cancer Early Scholars will establish their
independent program within a supporting laboratory and will be
provided with all the resources necessary for success, including a
dedicated mentorship committee of Columbia faculty, opportunities
for pilot funding, collaboration with a wide range of Columbia
scientists, and guidance in the preparation of grant applications
as Principal Investigator. The recruitment package will include
funds for salary and fringe benefits, research support and
relocation costs. Housing support may also be available. As HICCC
members, the Scholars will have access to superb HICCC Shared
Resources and will join a vibrant community of clinicians and
scientists across Columbia University and its affiliated
institutions, including those working in cancer as well as in other
areas.
The Scholars will have demonstrated success (e.g. first/senior
authored publications, awards, grants). Scholars will be expected
to obtain grants from the NIH (e.g. DP4/DP5 through the Director's
office), foundations (e.g. Pew, Keck, Rita Allen, Buroughs-Welcome,
Searle, etc) or other entities.
We seek to identify the best and brightest and "fast" track them to
faculty.
