About The Position
The Department of Microbiology & Immunology, Emory University School of Medicine, and the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University invite applications at the Assistant and Associate Professor levels for a tenure-track faculty position within the broad fields of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We offer a highly interactive, collegial research environment. The Department is scientifically diverse, with strengths in adaptive immunity, bacterial pathogenesis, molecular virology, and vaccinology. Winship Cancer Institute is Georgia’s only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and serves as the coordinating center for cancer research, education, and care across Emory University and Emory Healthcare. Cancer Immunology is one of four major research programs at Winship, supported by the Winship Center for Cancer Immunology (WCCI), which provides support for translational and team science research and serves as the central hub for immune monitoring. Winship investigators conduct more than 250 therapeutic clinical trials each year, enrolling over 1000 patients. The recently launched Winship Cellular Therapy Initiative (WCTI) further expands opportunities in adoptive T cell therapy for solid tumors, including TIL, CAR, and TCR-engineered approaches. Graduate education is robust at Emory, and our faculty have access to multiple graduate programs. Our research infrastructure is state-of-the-art and includes many excellent core facilities.
