The University of New Mexico National Cancer Institute (NCI) Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNMCCC) and the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Preventive Medicine at the UNM School of Medicine are seeking population scientists with expertise in population-based molecular and/or genetic epidemiology to expand programmatic efforts in cancer control and population science in New Mexico. While these are open rank, tenure track positions, we seek highly interactive population scientists with active or developing externally funded research programs and a high degree of academic accomplishments. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to work collaboratively across multiple scientific and clinical oncology disciplines. We are particularly seeking epidemiologists in the areas of genomics, epigenetics, gene-environment interactions, and genetic ancestry and genetic risk assessment. Numerous opportunities are available for translating laboratory-based approaches to improvements in screening, diagnosis and treatment of several cancers for which New Mexican’s suffer significant cancer health disparities, including cancers of the breast, gynecologic malignancies, hematologic malignancies, and cancers of the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and genitourinary systems. Preference will be given to candidates whose research incorporates biological specimens and employs and develops laboratory-based genetic/genomic measures of risk. Experience with collecting and integrating genomics/genetics, patient electronic health records and population-based research data to address health disparities is highly desirable. The UNMCCC has substantial opportunities for energetic multidisciplinary collaborations in a highly collegial environment with potential for growth; applicants may have a laboratory-based program and may utilize an extensive array of UNMCCC Shared Resources. The UNMCCC also houses or supports many additional registries and resources, including the NCI SEER New Mexico Tumor Registry, the New Mexico Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Registry, and the Center for Native American Environmental Health Equity. The UNMCCC is also a member of the ORIEN National Cancer Precision Medicine Network of NCI Cancer Centers engaged in cancer sequencing, precision oncology, data sharing, cancer clinical trials and collaborative research (http://oriencancer.org/). Significant resources, including excellent salaries, comprehensive start-up packages, and potential for an endowed position, are available.
