About The Position
The Department of Neuroscience and the Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) seek a tenure-track faculty member at any rank in neuro-oncology. The search supports MUSC’s multi-year strategic plan to expand neuroscience and cancer research. The university is especially interested in candidates using cutting-edge technologies and approaches to understand, detect, or treat nervous system cancers—particularly glioblastoma—and in research on brain mechanisms and novel therapeutics associated with cancer and cancer risk. The successful candidate will join an expanding neuro-oncology research program shared by the Department of Neuroscience and HCC and receive a competitive start-up package. The Neuroscience Department ranks among the top 20 in NIH awards and emphasizes faculty mentoring and collegiality. HCC is an NCI-designated cancer center with more than 140 research investigators working in areas including immunotherapies, cancer biology, prevention, detection, control, and therapeutic development. HCC also has its own CAR-T cell therapy program. The department and center have multiple NIH T32 training grants, shared core resources, and a supportive academic research community in which the faculty member can build and expand a neuro-oncology research program. Applicants should submit a CV, a one-page letter of interest, a three-page research-focus statement, and contact information for three professional references to Kristen Mulholland, referencing “Neuro-oncology search” in the subject line.
