Description The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center seeks applications from faculty candidates who will contribute to the diversity and excellence of our community of scholars. Located in Seattle, Washington, Fred Hutch is one of the world’s leading academic research centers. At Fred Hutch we believe that the innovation, collaboration, and rigor that result from diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical to our mission of eliminating cancer, infectious diseases, and understanding mechanisms of disease. Fred Hutch is in pursuit of becoming an antiracist organization. We are thus committed to diversifying our faculty ranks.
In keeping with our commitment, Fred Hutch invites applications for an inaugural cohort of up to five faculty members in any discipline related to cancer, infectious disease, or basic biology research. We seek individuals who will actively contribute to our core values of diversity, openness, innovation, and scientific excellence. Scientists and clinician-scientists, particularly those from diverse backgrounds, are encouraged to apply at all academic ranks, Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor. We are seeking faculty members who bring new ways of seeing the world and solving problems. We are committed to ensuring that all candidates hired share our commitment to diversity, antiracism, and inclusion. Successful candidates for this faculty search will be those who demonstrate a commitment to these principles.
