Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seek candidates for an Assistant Professor position in the tenure track. Applicants must have an Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree.
Teaching responsibilities may include providing an outstanding training environment for postdoctoral fellows and graduate and medical students.
Research or scholarship responsibilities may include establishing and maintaining an independent, extramurally funded research program at the intersection of some of the most dynamic areas in experimental oncology, including but not limited to functional cancer genomics and transcriptomics, genome editing, metabolism and proteomics, chemical biology, precision medicine, and cancer immunotherapy. Additional expectations include deepening and complementing existing strengths in genome integrity, mRNA metabolism, non-coding RNAs, tumor evolutions, and cancer neoantigens. Regardless of the chosen research area, the successful applicant will have sufficient postdoctoral or fellowship experience to demonstrate significant accomplishments, intellectual independence, and leadership promise.
The position is affiliated with the Division of Cancer Pathobiology and the Center for Childhood Cancer Research (CCCR) at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). More information about the program can be found at http://www.chop.edu/cccr/research-topic/cancer-pathobiology-research. A generous recruitment package and wet laboratory space will be provided together with outstanding institutional resources, which include close ties to the clinical enterprise and easy access to patients samples. Furthermore, as a CHOP-based Penn faculty member, the candidate will have access to the rich research environment and collaborative opportunities across the entire CHOP/University of Pennsylvania campus and Penn's Abramson Cancer Center. The Search Committee will be chaired by Dr. Andrei Thomas-Tikhonenko.

Vision
As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.
Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Diversity
Understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world.
Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
