What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant/Associate Professor-Molecular Pharmacology position at Albert Einstein College of Medicine?
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
The Department of Molecular Pharmacology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is seeking candidates for a tenure-track position in cancer metabolism. We are looking for creative early- and mid-career applicants with bold vision and demonstrated excellence in research at the interface of cancer biology, metabolism, immunometabolism, tumor microenvironment and tumor metastasis, who apply their expertise to important problems in basic and translational sciences.
The new recruit will join the Dept. of Molecular Pharmacology and the Montefiore-Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center. Einstein provides an outstanding and supportive research environment, with world class shared facilities and multiple NIH Centers (Cancer, Diabetes, Aging, AIDS, and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities). Einstein is a part of the Montefiore Health Care System, which brings the advantages of close interactions with eminent clinicians as well as a demographically unique patient base.
Please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, concise (1-2 pages) summary of previous research contributions and a well-articulated research plan (2-3 pages).
The application deadline is Sept 1, 2024.
QUALIFICATIONS
Interested candidates should have a Ph.D., M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, Biochemistry, Diabetes/Metabolism, Immunology, or related academic disciplines.
New faculty will move into newly renovated space, and start up packages are highly competitive.
We will consider applicants years of experience/accomplishments when deciding final salary.

The Department of Molecular Pharmacology at Einstein focuses on cellular signaling, cancer metastasis, transcriptional regulation, mRNA translation control, and drug action and resistance. Our faculty has strong ties to the Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Diabetes Center, the Institute for Aging Research, the Stem Cell Institute, and the Institute of Cancer Dormancy and Tumor Microenvironment. Our research encompass molecular characterization (transcriptomics, translational profiling, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) and functional interrogation (functional genomics and tool compounds) of normal and abnormal biological systems aiming to understand and develop therapeutic interventions for cancer, diabetes, thyroid, cardiac pathogenesis, wound healing, urogenital disorders, behavioral disorders, learning, and depression, neurodevelopmental, and neurodegenerative disorders. Advanced animal models and human-derived specimens are frequently used in these efforts to ensure that our research is at the forefront of translational science. Close collaboration with Einstein’s core facilities and resources enables access to state-of-the-art research instruments and methodologies.
The Department has 25 primary and secondary faculty members as well as 40 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The highly collaborative work of investigators within and across departments and centers at Einstein, as well as with the clinical faculty of Montefiore, creates a highly dynamic and translationally oriented-scientific environment. The research program in the department trains Ph.D. and M.D. / Ph.D. students for independent research careers, and our trainees have found positions in academia, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies, the National Institutes of Health, and the FDA.
