Assistant Professor, Transplantation Biology and Immunology

The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) and the University of Washington (UW) invite applicants for a lab-based physician-scientist faculty position at the Assistant Professor level. The position will be dual appointed with a primary faculty appointment in the Translational Science and Therapeutics Division (TST) of Fred Hutch and a secondary appointment in the UW Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology and Oncology. Academic appointments at UW will be commensurate with experience, qualifications and academic rank.

The successful candidate will have expertise in transplant immunology, computational modeling of T cell clonality, and microbiome science and be engaged in laboratory-based research focused on developing novel interventions for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and immune reconstitution post-hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Successful NIH K08 or R01 level funding is required. The selected individual will foster an environment of collaboration and productivity in the field of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and bone marrow transplantation therapies for hematological malignancies.

Faculty are expected to perform their primary activities on-site at Fred Hutch. The role does not include an independent laboratory space in which to conduct research but will have the use of an existing laboratory space from a senior faculty member at Fred Hutch.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington.

With a track record of global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our fully integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures to the world’s deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer a reality.
