Responsibilities

The Mayo Clinic Department of Immunology is recruiting an outstanding Cancer Immunologist to join Mayo Clinic in Arizona. The department is the oldest free-standing immunology department in the country (https://www.mayo.edu/research/departments-divisions/department-immunology/overview) and is the academic home for basic and translational scientists studying the immune system in health and disease. As scientists, department members have a common understanding and passion for advancing knowledge of fundamental mechanisms that cause and regulate inflammation and immune responsiveness. Immunology laboratories are highly interactive, collaborating and communicating between three campuses: Scottsdale, AZ; Jacksonville, FL; and Rochester, MN.

Mayo Clinic is top-ranked in more specialties than any other care provider according to U.S. News & World Report. With a 73,000-person workforce, Mayo Clinic cares for more than 1.3 million people each year with serious or complex illnesses from all 50 U.S. states and 130 countries. Mayo Clinic is the largest not-for-profit, multidisciplinary academic medical center in the world with over 4,000 physicians and scientists in an integrated multi-campus system spanning the globe.

The unified mission at Mayo Clinic is to provide the best patient care, backed by our expertise and supported by innovation in education, research and practice, to bring hope and healing in times of need. We embrace collegial relationships among campuses (Arizona, Florida and Minnesota) allowing for best practices and innovation to help solve the most serious complex medical challenges-one patient at a time.

We support a vibrant and diverse research enterprise (https://www.mayo.edu/research/about/research-facts-funding) , with programs in basic, translational, clinical, population, and data sciences. In 2022, the institution received over $679 million in extramural research awards, supplemented with over $421 million of institutional support. Laboratories and shared resource facilities are state-of-the-art, including those for microscopy and imaging, cell and molecular biology, animal models, production of iPS cells and clinical grade MSCs, biomedical engineering and mathematics, materials testing, a Medical Genomics Facility, a Mouse Modeling Facility, Molecular and Microscopic Core Facilities, and unique Human Disease Tissue Banks. Mayo Clinic supports innovation and has a wealth of resources available – including an integrated health record and collaboration with top specialists.

As we work together to put the needs of the patient first, we are also dedicated to our employees, investing in a highly competitive compensation package with substantial long-term institutional and departmental support for salary, personnel, equipment, and travel as well as a competitive startup package all designed to ensure immediate and continued success. Additional benefits for faculty at Mayo Clinic include intramural funding opportunities for research and innovation. We provide an outstanding, comprehensive benefits package (https://jobs.mayoclinic.org/benefits) that includes plenty of options for medical, dental and vision care; flexible spending accounts; life insurance; short- and long-term disability coverage; travel allowance; generous time away; and more! We are proud to be among the few U.S. companies to provide a pension benefit at no cost to employees plus you can add the Mayo 403(b) plan which features an employer match.

Over the next four years, Mayo Clinic is making significant investments in both the physical and technological future of health care, through doubling the size of the Mayo Clinic campus in Phoenix, inclusive of practice, education, and research activities. Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona are located in Phoenix and Scottsdale (https://college.mayo.edu/campus-and-community/arizona/) , in the beautiful Sonoran Desert. The region is known as the Valley of the Sun, a metropolitan area with almost 5 million residents in 25 cities and towns.

With Phoenix (https://www.visitphoenix.com/) being the fifth largest city in the nation, this sunny "desert metropolis" offers the amenities of a big city in the midst of a strikingly beautiful, rugged, southwest landscape.

Scottsdale (https://www.experiencescottsdale.com/) frequently earns praise as a highly desirable place to live. The city's more than 200,000 residents enjoy a vibrant mix of culinary hot spots, arts and entertainment, professional and collegiate sports teams, and community resources. The region's desert climate promotes an outdoor lifestyle with a full complement of sports and recreation.

Qualifications

Candidates are required to have a PhD or equivalent degree in a relevant discipline, with a track record of success in extramural funding, publications, and collaborations with clinicians. Ideal candidates would be those with expertise in the area of tumor-immune interactions or immune variation across populations, but all areas related to immune-oncology are encouraged to apply. Preferred candidates will have innovative ideas that synergize with current strengths in the department and desire to translate their work to the clinic. Applications from emerging investigators are welcome, as are applications from more established investigators and consideration will be given to candidates at the Assistant, Associate and Full Professor level.

Applications should include a cover letter, CV with bibliography, names and contact information of four references, and statements of your research interests and contributions to equity, inclusion & diversity.
