online @sciencecareers.orgThe School of Life Sciences of EPFL (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lau-
sanne) invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor position in
the field ofCancer Chemical/Bio-engineering.
This search is part of major initiatives in the Lake Geneva region to study
the mechanisms of cancer development and progression with an applica-
tion to therapy, using and developing advanced technologies that bridges
the fields of chemistry, biology and engineering to study fundamental pro-
cesses in cancer and or identify novel therapeutic targets and drugs to treat
cancer.The successful candidate will: join the faculty of the Swiss Institute for
Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) http://isrec.epfl.ch; develop an
independent internationally prominent research program in the broad
domain of chemical biology and bio-engineering of cancer and its potential
therapeutic applications; commit to excellence in teaching at the under-
graduate and graduate levels; and supervise PhD students and postdoc-
toral fellows. Candidates may work in any cancer-related area, including
development of chemical probes that interfere with or label growth con-
trolling proteins, engineering of defined functionalized matrices to study
patient derived tumoroids, or in computational and structural biology with
the aim to transform large numbers of un-druggable human proteins into
pharmacological targets, tumor evolution, and tumor escape mechanisms.
The successful candidate will be a part of EPFL’s cancer research institute
(ISREC), and is expected to perform and coordinate highly interactive bio-
medical research, reaching out and taking advantage of EPFL’s interdisci-
plinary campus (Schools of Basic Sciences, Engineering, and Information
and Communication Technologies) and its involvement in the multi-insti-
tutional Swiss Cancer Center Leman, which brings together EPFL, the Uni-
versities of Lausanne and Geneva, and clinical and translational research
components of the University Hospitals of Lausanne and Geneva. The
School of Life Sciences currently has five broad strategic aims: Organoid
bioengineering, structural biology, biological data science, environmental
biology, and Neuro-X.
Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a list of pub-
lications (annotated to indicate the candidate’s contributions) a synopsis
of major accomplishments, and a concise statement of future research
agenda and teaching interests, along with the contact information of at
least three references who are ready to supply their letter upon request.
Applications should be uploaded as PDF files to the recruitment web site:
https://facultyrecruiting.epfl.ch/position/35848193
Formal evaluation of candidates will begin onJanuary 8, 2022,and con-
tinue until the position is filled.
