Faculty Positions in Computational Oncology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

The Computational Oncology Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is inviting applications for tenure track faculty positions at the level of Assistant and Associate Member. Cancer research has firmly moved towards quantitative and data driven science. Responding to this challenge, we are seeking exceptional early to mid-career candidates to develop independent research programs that will grow and advance computationally focused cancer research at MSK. We are seeking candidates to develop innovative research programs to drive computational methods development and applied translational data analysis in cancer biology and clinical care. For example:

This year, MSK is conducting a search for two positions - one with a specific focus in computational pathology, to be recruited jointly with the Warren Alpert Center for Digital and Computational Pathology in the Department of Pathology. 

Eligible candidates will have a PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics or a related discipline. Candidates with strong backgrounds in machine learning/AI, algorithm development, mathematical modeling and/or data science and bioinformatics with proven publication track records in biomedical research and/or data-driven discovery are strongly encouraged to apply.

Our program is located at the newly created Computational Oncology Research Campus of MSK, encompassing the Computational Oncology research laboratories, and flanked by other computational groups such as clinical bioinformatics, radiology informatics, high performance computing, the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Center for Molecular Oncology (CMO) Computational Sciences and Technology Innovation groups. Our faculty develop fully independent computational research programs, collaborating extensively with clinical colleagues at MSK across all disease areas. Our faculty are eligible to hold appointments in the Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) Graduate School and the Tri-Institutional Computational Biology for Medicine program across MSK and WCMC, providing access to exceptional graduate students. 

We seek candidates committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in our research community. At MSK, diversity encompasses the variety of personal experiences, values and worldviews that result from differences in race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, national origin, language, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientations, socioeconomic status, geographic region and more.
