UNIV - Open Rank Faculty - ICCT- Cancer Immunotherapy
About The Position
The Integrated Center for Cellular Therapy (ICCT) at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the MUSC College of Medicine invite applications for a full-time, open rank, tenure track faculty position in the field of cellular immunotherapy. Faculty rank and home department will be determined based on the qualifications and experience of the selected candidate. We seek exceptional candidates who are committed to advancing the development and clinical translation of novel cell-based therapies for cancer and other immune-related diseases. The ICCT integrates expertise across immunology, cell and gene therapy, hematology/oncology, and translational medicine to create an innovative environment for scientific discovery and therapeutic innovation. We are particularly interested in individuals with research programs focused on cancer immunotherapy, cell engineering (e.g., CAR-T, TCR, NK cells), and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. Candidates utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as gene editing, single-cell profiling, or synthetic biology to enhance immune function are highly encouraged to apply.
