Yale is home to an NCI-funded Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) in Skin Cancer, a multidisciplinary effort spanning surgery, medical oncology, dermatology, pathology, immunobiology, genetics and biostatistics, focused on decreasing mortality from melanoma through novel therapies, predictive biomarkers of immunotherapy response, and strategies to overcome treatment resistance. The SPORE's Biospecimen Core, Developmental Research Program and Career Enhancement Program provide direct support and funding opportunities for early-career investigators. Faculty also benefit from close collaboration with the Yale Center for Immuno-Oncology and Yale Cancer Center shared resources, including an active clinical trials office and a robust portfolio of melanoma and sarcoma trials. Candidates will have exceptional interpersonal skills and a commitment to making academic contributions to the fields of melanoma and sarcoma.
