Faculty Positions in Cancer Nanomedicine

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation has recently established a Cancer Nanomedicine Center, a joint enterprise between the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) and the Taussig Cancer Center. We are seeking highly qualified individuals for faculty positions in the Center. Target technologies include detection, imaging, and drug delivery. Diseases of current emphasis include genitourinary cancers (prostate, bladder), haematological cancers (leukemia, lymphoma) and melanoma.

These individuals would have joint appointments in two vibrant departments in an Institution that values collaboration between basic science and clinical medicine. The BME department is located in the Lerner Research Institute where more than 1200 faculty and staff in 9 departments are dedicated to biomedical investigation. The Taussig Cancer Center consists of 70 faculty and additional support and technical staff focused on clinical and translational research in specific tumor types and anticancer drug discovery and development. We invite applications for positions at the Assistant or Associate Staff (professor) levels from individuals with prior experience, publications, and preferably extramural funding in the area of nanotechnology applied to cancer. Those with a background in molecular biology but no specific experience in cancer nanotechnology should not apply. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree(s) in an area appropriate to the applicant's field of specialization.

The Cleveland Clinic is committed to encouraging all employees to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Consistent with that commitment, the Cleveland Clinic will not employ individuals who use tobacco products. At the time of employment, a screening test will be conducted to assure that candidates are in compliance with this requirement.

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Applicants should submit a letter of application, complete curriculum vitae, a statement of current and future research goals, and details of three references to:
