Re: Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Chemistry or Chemical Biology

Dear Professor Ferrin,

I write to request your assistance in identifying innovative individuals for a tenure-track position in the Chemical Biology Program at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). We seek candidates with strong research accomplishments in chemical biology or organic chemistry and interests in bringing chemical approaches to bear upon problems at the interface with biomedical research, including basic and translational research and across all disease areas.  Women and candidates from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

 

MSK has a rich history in chemical research spanning over 70 years, and we are continuing our recent expansion in this area. We provide a unique and collaborative scientific environment, exceptional research facilities and resources, and generous startup packages. Faculty are eligible to hold appointments in and to recruit students from multiple outstanding graduate programs, including the Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology, Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program, Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences.

 

The application deadline is October 15, 2021. Interested candidates should visit https://facultysearch.ski.edu to access the online application and to obtain important information on required application materials and deadlines. Applicants must have a PhD degree in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology, or a closely related discipline, and a strong track record of scientific achievement. A copy of the search advertisement is below.

 

If you have anyone you believe would be interested in applying or if there is someone you would like to recommend, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,
