broad feld of host-pathogen interactions and microbial immunology. Applicants working at the interface
between bacteriology and immunology or virology and immunology are particularly encouraged to apply.


Qualifed candidates are expected to have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree as well as postdoctoral
training or equivalent status. The successful candidate will be expected to establish and maintain a
vigorous, extramurally funded research program and to participate in our strong graduate and medical
student training programs. All applicants should have substantial peer-reviewed publications that
demonstrate productivity and the ability to perform cutting edge research. Candidates for an Assistant
Professor position should have current or pending external funding, which could include an NIH K-level
award or equivalent. Candidates at the Associate Professor or Full Professor level should have substantial
research productivity, current grant support and academic service. The primary criteria for selection will
be excellence and creativity in research and scholarship. We offer a highly interactive collegial research
environment with state-of-the-art research and core facilities.


The start date is negotiable, and the position will remain open until flled.

Applications Requested for Stand Up

Exploring Cancer’s Communications
among the Immune System and the
Microbiome Using Organoids and Mice

Goal:develop a set of experimental platforms
using organoid systems in vitro, and mouse
models, that will permit a detailed exploration
and understanding of the interactions and
chemical communications among the
cancerous/normal organoid, the immune
system, and the microbiome.

Convergence 3.1416 aims to bring together
several independent research laboratories with
complementary skill sets and technological
approaches:


  • Laboratories able to make and maintain
    organoids from multiple types of human or
    mouse tissues;

  • Cellular immunologists exploring the innate
    immune system and the adaptive immune
    system;

  • Virologists and microbiologists who study
    the microbiomes of various tissues;

  • Individuals using mass spectroscopy to
    characterize changes in metabolism and to
    identify metabolites that act as signaling
    agents between organ systems;

  • Researchers who use multiplex mass
    spectroscopy of peptides to identify proteins
    that could be communicating among
    microbes, lymphocytes, and tissues of the
    body;

  • Engineers who can create “chemostats” for
    organoids and their fellow lymphoid and
    microbial travelers, with both aerobic and
    anaerobic compartments;

  • Quantitative biologists and physicists
    studying diffusion of nutrients and signals
    for communicating, who can analyze large
    data sets of information collected from
    sequencing, microscopy, and time lapse
    filming of cultures.


Applications:A letter of intent describing
current research directions, capabilities, and a
list of recent publications, information about
present position, institution, and laboratory
size and scope. Current funding should
be included, as well as any conflicts of
interest. Please submit your applications to:
StandUpToCancer.org/Convergenceby
June 1, 2020. Questions can be addressed to:
[email protected].

Notification:Applications will be screened
by a committee, and 10-15 investigators will
be invited to a three day ideas laboratory to
be held at the Institute for Advanced Study,
in Princeton, New Jersey, at which invited
investigators will give a short talk about their
work and capabilities, and break up into groups
to determine if collaborative efforts can be
planned. Following this meeting, a subset of
the group will be selected to write proposals
of no more than 10 pages, and supply a budget
for a three to four year period. The review
committee will determine which proposals are
acceptable for funding.
