Essential functions (job duties):

The Department of Oncology at Wayne State University School of Medicine and the Population Studies and Disparities Research Program of the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute (KCI), an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, invites applications for a tenure track position.

This position in the Population Studies and Disparities Research Program (PSDR).

This program includes 28 members from 11 departments and 3 schools at Wayne State University (WSU). Program members actively collaborate with members of the other Karmanos research programs: Molecular Imaging, Molecular Therapeutics, and Tumor Biology and Microenvironment. KCI/WSU house the Metropolitan Detroit Cancer Surveillance System, the population-based cancer registry covering the tri-county metropolitan Detroit area since 1973. In addition, the Detroit Research on Cancer Survivors (ROCS) cohort, the largest cohort of African American Cancer survivors serves as a research resource available to faculty. Targeted research areas for this position include, but are not limited to cancer screening/early detection; cancer prevention and control; and cancer risk and survivorship. We encourage applications from researchers whose work is grounded in rigorous epidemiologic methods and population-based research.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic and collegial academic setting and receive a competitive start-up package, state-of-the-art core facilities, and an environment that supports multidisciplinary collaboration.

Qualifications:

We are seeking a candidate who is highly collaborative to add to the outstanding expertise and research of our team of multidisciplinary faculty across the university and cancer center. All candidates must have a PhD or equivalent in public health, epidemiology, or other similar scientific discipline with an outstanding record of high impact research commensurate with level. Potential candidates must demonstrate a commitment to reducing health disparities and will be expected to conduct research that is responsive to the needs and disparities within KCI's 46-county catchment area in Michigan, with the goal of achieving health equity. Although the candidate will be based in Detroit, a vibrant urban center with a long history of innovation and activism, there is ample opportunity to advance research with regional and statewide reach. Rank commensurate with credentials.
