The successful candidate will be an affiliate member of the Brooklyn College Cancer Center, and depending on their cancer-research focus will be appointed in one of the following academic departments: Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Computer & Information Science, Health and Nutrition Sciences, or Psychology.

The Brooklyn College Cancer Center - Community Outreach, Research and Education (BCCC-CURE) is seeking to fill the position of Clinician Scientist/Assistant Medical Professor (Clinical). The applicant is expected to have a track record in cancer research (broadly defined).

Twenty faculty members from five different departments Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Computer & Information Science, Health and Nutrition Science, and Psychology are members at BCCC-CURE, along with education, community outreach and clinician scientists’ partners from Brooklyn College and partner institutions.
Brooklyn College serves students from as many as 150 countries who speak over 100 languages and dialects and thus constitutes a vibrant microcosm of the rich diversity and energy that characterizes the borough of Brooklyn and the greater New York City area itself. Its mission features “a special commitment to educate immigrant and first-generation college students from the diverse communities that make up our city and state.” The college ethos is strongly invested in the educational and career success of a population that encompasses a multiplicity of nationalities, ethnicities, religions, cultures and languages. We are committed to fostering a spirit of camaraderie and shared ideals across the entire spectrum of our varied constituency. By accessing a first-class and affordable college education in an inclusive and nurturing intellectual milieu, our students acquire the skills, confidence, and global mindedness that allow them to thrive in a rapidly changing, unpredictable marketplace of ideas that is increasingly mindless of borders and spans the gamut of cultures and vernaculars.
To this end, the college seeks faculty who are eager to engage with the diversity of our student body and have a demonstrated commitment to inclusion and heterogeneity through research, teaching, and/or service. We seek to recruit and retain faculty who reflect the mosaic of our student population.
