successful candidates will have experience in the field of cancer biology, with specific target areas being cancer metabolism, chemical biology, cancer genetics and genomics, epigenetics, tumor microenvironment, and immune cell signaling. Responsibilities include establishing a vigorous and independently funded research program in cancer biology, supervising and mentoring students with diverse backgrounds, and contributing to the graduate and medical school educational missions. We seek individuals with strong records of independent creative accomplishments, who will interact productively with colleagues within YCBI, across the Yale West Campus, the Yale Cancer Center, and the University generally – taking advantage of unique opportunities to translate basic science from the Institute into clinical practice.

YCBI is one of 6 multi-disciplinary research institutes on Yale’s burgeoning West Campus, which is self-contained but conveniently linked to Yale’s nearby New Haven campus and the Yale Cancer Center. For more details, see: https://westcampus.yale.edu/research/science-medicineengineering/institutes/cancer.

Please submit a letter describing qualifications, along with a CV, a two-page summary of current and proposed research, and three confidential letters of reference to the following Interfolio website: apply.interfolio.com/191231

Informal inquiries may be submitted to Dr. Mark Lemmon, YCBI Co-Director, at cancerbiologyinstitute@yale.edu. Consideration of applications will begin November 30th, 2026, and will continue until the positions are filled.

Inquiries concerning Yale’s Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment may be referred to the Office of Institutional Equity and Accessibility (OIEA).
