The Prostate Cancer Research Program has an outstanding opportunity for a full-time Project Manager (Research Coordinator 3 (E S UAW Research)) reporting to the Scientific Director of the Institute for Prostate Cancer Research. This position is responsible for the planning, development and execution of key projects across multiple departments.

The Institute for Prostate Cancer Research (IPCR) is a collaborative effort between the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (FHCC) and the UW Division and is designed to advance cutting edge research activities undertaken by the Prostate Cancer Research Program of the Fred Hutchinson/University of Washington Cancer Consortium. There are approximately 47 scientists and physician researchers in the Prostate Cancer Research Program, who collaborate to defeat prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Research Program works to understand what triggers prostate cancer and how it develops. Their research covers everything from inherited mutations that increase the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer to the link between aging and prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Research Program has established a research team comprised of interdisciplinary collaborators who have expertise in genomics, genetics, pathology, experimental therapeutics, cancer biology and clinical cancer research. Using this robust and collaborative research approach the team is focused on identifying genetic alterations in prostate tumors that can help oncologists tailor treatment for individual patients. The University of Washington's Division of Hematology & Oncology includes 130+ faculty members located at the UW Medical Center, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and the VA Puget Sound Health Care System. Over the past 40 years, members of the Division have made substantial contributions to many other areas of cancer treatment, including the use of tumor vaccines, cellular therapy for cancer, antibody-based treatments, and novel forms of chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Our Division is deeply committed to maintaining its position as one of the leading centers for research and treatment of cancer in the world.
