The Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Medical University of South
Carolina is seeking applicants for tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor level in
the areas of tumor vaccine development and/or tumor gene therapy. New faculty will
have access to a competitive salary and startup funds and benefit from protected time for
the establishment of a nationally competitive research program. Independent funding is
highly desirable. Relocation of established funded research programs in tumor vaccines
or tumor gene therapy will be considered. New laboratories have come on-line in the
Hollings Cancer Center in 2006. The Department provides teaching to multiple colleges
within the University, and all faculty participate in professional and graduate education as
well as maintain an active research program.
The Medical University of South Carolina is a rapidly growing research environment.
Extramural research support has consistently increased over the past 10 years, topping
$189 million in 2006. Research centers include the Hollings Cancer Center and the
Center for Cell, Gene, and Vaccine Therapy. State-of-the-art research facilities include
X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, proteomics, microarrays, functional imaging,
and confocal microscopy. A BSL-3 small animal/wet lab is nearly completed and will
become available in 2006. A major new facility in biomolecular NMR is under
development. The Charleston area provides an outstanding quality of life in a historic
coastal community offering excellent opportunities in the arts, sports, recreation, and
cuisine.
