Science Research
Associate Professor
The Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center of Loyola
University Medical Center, under the leadership of Drs.
Patrick J. Stiff as Director and Brian J. Nickoloff as
Deputy Director, is seeking outstanding candidates to fill
a faculty position at the Associate Professor level within
our Breast Cancer Basic Science Program. Candidates
must have developed an innovative research program,
and demonstrate a strong publication and funding track
record.
This laboratory based program, under the direction of Dr.
Lucio Miele, is one of the four primary research programs
within the Cancer Center’s Oncology Institute, and is
complemented by an established clinical program in this
area. Areas of research interest include experimental
therapeutics and target identification, tumor progression
biology, metastasis/angiogenesis, cancer stem cells and
hormone and growth factor effects in breast
carcinogenesis. We are interested in investigators
addressing these research areas in clinically relevant
model systems.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop and
maintain an independently funded laboratory research
program as part of the Breast Cancer Basic Science
program. In addition to a generous start up package and
laboratory space, the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center
provides a highly interactive research environment,
including opportunities for translational research in
association with a strong clinical program in breast
oncology.
Located in the west suburbs of Chicago, the 125,000 sq.
ft. Cancer Center houses both research laboratories and
outpatient facilities. The Medical Center campus is also
the site of Loyola University’s Stritch School of Medicine
and Foster G. McGaw Hospital. Additional information
