Mayo Clinic in Florida is seeking a breast cancer investigator (PhD or MD/PhD) to join our NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. Ideal candidates will have a strong interest and experience in facilitating clinical, translational, and/or basic science research in breast cancer, a track record of publication in breast cancer research, and success securing extramural funding. The candidate selected for this position will be expected to build strong collaborative relationships with clinicians and research teams and partner with colleagues in the clinical practice.

The Mayo Clinic is an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, with a multisite presence. Its three campuses give the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center a broad geographic reach, enabling it to serve diverse patient populations around the world. The Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Mayo Clinic Florida includes over twenty four board-certified hematologists and medical oncologists, offering highly skilled, state-of-the art care. The medical oncology team in Florida is known for its extensive involvement in the preclinical and clinical development of new breast cancer therapies as well as the identification and translation of cancer biomarkers. They are active participants in the NCI Specialized Program in Research Excellence (SPORE) grant, the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, and the NCI Experimental Therapeutics-Clinical Trials Network (ET-CTN). The division also supports an ACGME-accredited fellowship in Hematology/Oncology and the Mayo Medical School in Florida. The three campuses are also home to outstanding, internationally recognized physicians and scientists who collaborate across the full spectrum of cancer research, from basic biology to treatment, as they seek ways to reduce the burden of cancer.
