Position Description
The Cancer Vaccine Institute (CVI) in the University of Washington (UW) Department of Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology, is recruiting a full-time faculty member to participate in a research program concentrated on tumor immunology with the potential to focus on human T-cells or T-cell biology. An important aspect of the position would be a leadership role within the institute as Director of the CVI Immune Monitoring Core Laboratory (IML). The IML is a GLP (good laboratory practices) laboratory that performs immune monitoring on multiple clinical trials and contains a staff of research scientists which interact with other sites for multi-site studies and perform immune assays.

The position would have 0.2 FTE supplied as Director of the IML. The position will also involve participation in the instructional activities of the Division of Hematology and Oncology. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
