The Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute (VTCRI) in Roanoke, Virginia (http://research.vtc.vt.edu/) is recruiting a faculty member working in the area of cancer biology. The position may be filled at the associate or full professor level. Start-up packages, facilities and support are highly competitive. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to take a leadership role in the growth of the cancer biology research program at the VTCRI, including the recruitment of several additional faculty. The VTCRI opened in the summer of 2010 under the leadership of Dr. Michael Friedlander. It currently has 22 research teams with $50M in startup funding and an additional $45M in current active extramural research funding. The Institute has state of the art facilities in optical, high field electron and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as cell and molecular biology, structural biology, nanochemistry, developmental biology, biophysics, computation and high capacity data analysis/storage facilities. During this period of major growth of the new institute, we are especially interested in colleagues who enjoy a highly collaborative environment and interacting with investigators from their own as well as other disciplines including those working at molecular, cellular, whole organismal and computational levels. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. (or M.D./Ph.D. or D.V.M./Ph.D.), postdoctoral training experience and a successful track record of running an innovative extramurally funded cancer research program. The VTCRI is immediately adjacent to the Carilion Clinic and the new VTC School of Medicine where all medical students carry out 4 year research projects.
