The Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is recruiting a tenure-track investigator to develop an independent research program focused on the adverse health effects of treatment, including radiotherapy, in cancer survivors, and modifiers of survival after cancer diagnosis.

DCEG is one of the world’s most comprehensive cancer epidemiology research groups. Its distinguished epidemiologists, geneticists, and biostatisticians conduct population and multidisciplinary research to discover the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention. Within DCEG, REB’s broad-based research program has a three-fold research mission: to characterize and quantify the carcinogenic effects of radiation; to improve our understanding of molecular mechanisms of radiation carcinogenesis; and to address issues of public concern about radiation exposure. One focus of the program is quantifying risks among cancer survivors for developing adverse health effects of treatment, with particular emphasis on risks following radiotherapy. Areas of interest include quantification of the magnitude and shape of the radiation dose-response relationship following specific types of radiotherapy exposures and investigation of potential modifiers of radiation-related risks, including systemic therapies, genetic susceptibility, other patient-related factors, and other cancer risk factors. Investigations conducted by REB include both pediatric and adult cancer survivors and involve interdisciplinary approaches with the goal of improving the clinical care and quality of life of cancer survivors. These investigations provide critical data for assessing risks and benefits of current cancer treatment approaches and for guiding clinical recommendations for the long-term management of cancer survivors. REB investigators also are actively engaged in DCEG’s Cancer Survivorship Research Unit (CSRU), which promotes survivorship research across the entire Division. More information about REB, CSRU, and DCEG can be found at:

https://dceg.cancer.gov/about/organization/programs-ebp/reb(external link)https://dceg.cancer.gov/about/organization/tdrp/reb/cancer-survivorship…(external link).

We are seeking a tenure track investigator to develop an independent research program on adverse health effects of treatment, including radiotherapy, in cancer survivors. The successful candidate will have access to advanced computational resources, state-of-the-art genomics facilities, mentoring and other research support, including opportunities to build on existing REB studies as described on the branch website. Additional training to support development of an interdisciplinary research program that aligns with the REB and CSRU missions also will be provided based on the applicant’s background and future research goals. The applicant also will be supported in the development of collaborations across REB, CSRU, DCEG as well as the NCI/NIH more broadly.

Required Qualifications: Applicants must have a doctorate or equivalent qualification in epidemiology, medicine, genetics, or related field, relevant experience after the doctorate in cancer research, survivorship, and/or radiation epidemiology, and excellent computational skills. A strong record of publications demonstrating an ability to lead an independent research program and collaborate effectively is required. Candidates will be evaluated on evidence of specific accomplishments; creativity and novelty of scientific vision and alignment of that vision with REB and CSRU goals; sound analytic knowledge and skills; collaborative teamwork, especially across disciplines; productivity; evidence of effective and efficient project leadership; and effective oral and written scientific communication. Experience working in studies with molecular or genetic components would be advantageous. Candidates must be sufficiently experienced to function independently, both in the development of their own research program and in the mentoring and supervision of more junior scientists.

DCEG is one of the world’s most comprehensive cancer epidemiology research groups. Its distinguished epidemiologists, geneticists, and biostatisticians conduct population and multidisciplinary research to discover the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention. Within DCEG, REB’s broad-based research program has a three-fold research mission: to characterize and quantify the carcinogenic effects of radiation; to improve our understanding of molecular mechanisms of radiation carcinogenesis; and to address issues of public concern about radiation exposure. One focus of the program is quantifying risks among cancer survivors for developing adverse health effects of treatment, with particular emphasis on risks following radiotherapy. Areas of interest include quantification of the magnitude and shape of the radiation dose-response relationship following specific types of radiotherapy exposures and investigation of potential modifiers of radiation-related risks, including systemic therapies, genetic susceptibility, other patient-related factors, and other cancer risk factors. Investigations conducted by REB include both pediatric and adult cancer survivors and involve interdisciplinary approaches with the goal of improving the clinical care and quality of life of cancer survivors. These investigations provide critical data for assessing risks and benefits of current cancer treatment approaches and for guiding clinical recommendations for the long-term management of cancer survivors. REB investigators also are actively engaged in DCEG’s Cancer Survivorship Research Unit (CSRU), which promotes survivorship research across the entire Division. More information about REB, CSRU, and DCEG can be found at:

Astonishing Labs is growing, and we are seeking someone to work with our team on company building and science communications. This person will fill numerous roles, but the primary focus will be on building relationships with investors - primarily high net worth individuals and family offices.

This is a truly unique opportunity to work with my team of experienced entrepreneurs and fundraisers, all of whom will be vesting their time and resources to build this candidate’s skills in understanding the industry, and communicating our science and mission to the outside world.

This person must have exceptional communication skills and interpersonal skills, be engaging in formal and informal environments, and be able to build relationships and trust with potential investors in Astonishing Labs and its portfolio companies. The skills of fundraising are unique, and our team has extremely accomplished and experienced individuals who will work with this candidate to develop those skills specifically in the biotechnology space. But the type of engaging and confident personality we are looking for is rare in general, and even more rare among those with a science background, and my hope is that you, or a colleague of yours who knows your students well will have some candidates we can consider.

We are seeking someone as soon as possible, so recent or upcoming PhD students, or post-docs who are searching for their next career opportunity, are likely candidates.

This position will require extensive travel, both domestically and abroad, and will be compensated very competitively. There is no upper limit on where this opportunity takes them in their career, and whichever direction that may be, having these relationships is invaluable in whatever pursuit they look to beyond this role. That, of course, includes within Astonishing Labs itself, and with our portfolio companies.

This is an incredibly unique opportunity to travel extensively, learn a skill set that is rare and highly valuable, and build a network among investors that will be second to none. The candidate will have constant exposure to an accomplished team of entrepreneurs and various biotech company management teams.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you at your convenience. If there is a better contact that you wish to forward this to, or who knows the students and post-docs better, please feel free to do so and ask them to reach me directly.

Thank you, I appreciate your time, my best, Tom

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Intramural Research Program (IRP), a major research component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is seeking applications from highly motivated individuals for the position of Tenure-Track Investigator 1 in the Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias (CARD), located in Bethesda, Md.

CARD is a collaborative initiative between the NIA and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) that supports basic, translational, and clinical research on Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (AD/ADRD) including AD, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Frontotemporal Dementia, and Vascular Dementia. CARD’s central mission is to initiate, stimulate, accelerate, and support research that will lead to the development of improved treatment and prevention for these diseases. The new Center, which features a state-of-the-art facility and cutting-edge technology, serves as a collaborative hub for research in the AD/ADRD space, leveraging the highly collaborative and collegial nature of the Intramural Research Program.

The successful candidate will develop an independent research program focused on one or both of two research areas detailed below, each directed toward an understanding of AD/ADRD.

Thematic area one: Modern molecular neuropathologic research that aims to investigate the basis of AD/ADRD using human-derived samples. The successful candidate will launch an independent research program that integrates standard neuropathological approaches with state-of-the-art methods, such as digital neuropathology, and artificial intelligence-based classification, to characterize the molecular basis of neuropathologic human tissue including bulk, single cell, and spatial genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research in close collaboration with researchers within and outside of CARD. Requirements for the position include a strong background and extensive experience in neurodegenerative disease research and modern neuropathology. Preference will be given to those with demonstrated experience in digital pathology, the application of artificial intelligence to pathology and single cell-omics methods, as well as a strong track record of collaborative research.

Thematic area two: Translational research that aims to use functional genetics and/or genomics to translate knowledge of the genetic architecture of AD/ADRD to a biological understanding of disease processes. The successful candidate will launch an independent research program to determine the cellular context(s), risk alleles, effector genes, and mechanisms linked to known and to-be-discovered genetic risk loci for AD/ADRD.

The position requires a strong background and extensive experience in neurogenetics, high-content genomics, and data science. There are growing genomic data resources from relevant individuals within CARD and the broader IRP and tissues for AD/ADRD including those aimed at revealing chromatin accessibility, chromatin organization, epigenetic marks, and transcriptional activity from brain, and single-cell populations. This rich unique resource will provide the opportunity to develop an independent research program. The successful applicant will also play a major role in expanding this resource particularly in tissues and derived materials from underrepresented populations. The successful candidate will have a strong background and extensive experience in neurogenetics, high-content genomics, and use of iPSC derived cells and/or organoids as model systems. Preference will be given to those with demonstrated experience in neurodegeneration, single-cell genomics, and with astrong track record of collaborative research.

The position includes an attractive start-up package and operating budget, including access to comprehensive NIA core facilities and to the unique and extensive resources of the NIH. Significant support will be available within CARD to enable data generation, discovery, analysis and collaboration.

Eligible candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.D. (or M.D., Ph.D.) or equivalent doctoral degree in neuroscience, genetics, genomics, or related fields. The incumbent will play a major role in training staff and postdoctoral fellows and maintaining research continuity within CARD, as well as developing a network of intra- and extramural collaborations. The candidate’s capabilities must be demonstrated through publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals in the relevant field(s). The incumbent is expected to demonstrate peer recognition of their specific contributions to these publications.

Salary is commensurate with experience and accomplishments. A full Civil Service package of benefits (including retirement, health and life insurance, Thrift Savings Plan, etc.) is available. All employees of the Federal Government are subject to the conflict-of-interest statutes and regulations, including the Standards of Ethical Conduct. Additional information regarding CARD is available at the following website: https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/card(external link).
