Description: Princeton University is pleased to announce a search for Ludwig Princeton Scholars, a program aimed at attracting talented early-career scientists (0-2 years experience from PhD, MD, or clinical training). The program centers on cancer metabolism, broadly defined to include technology development, computation, biological studies, drug development, and clinical trials relevant to diet, metabolism, cancer, cell growth, metastasis, autophagy, microbiome, and/or the immune system. Scholars will be housed at the Ludwig Princeton Branch on Princeton University's campus, or in collaborating labs at the Rutgers Cancer Institute. Appropriate backgrounds include a Ph.D. in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, physics or an M.D. Appointment will be to a postdoctoral rank, with a competitive salary. Appointments are for one year with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding. Scholars will be given a substantial degree of independence, with mentorship from at least 2 faculty members, one of whom must be a member of the Ludwig Princeton Branch (currently, these are Josh Rabinowitz, Eileen White, Yibin Kang, Lydia Lynch, and Michael Skinnider). Scholars may have the opportunity to perform a modest amount of teaching on Princeton's campus, according to a plan they may develop in conjunction with their mentors. While teaching, a Scholar may hold a secondary appointment as a Lecturer in an appropriate department, pending sufficient course enrollments and the approval of the Dean of the Faculty. Learn more about Ludwig Princeton Branch by visiting our website: https://ludwigcancer.princeton.edu/. Scholars will be appointed on a rolling basis. Please feel free to contact the Branch at (ludwigcancer@princeton.edu) with any inquiries about the Ludwig Princeton Scholars Program. To apply online, please visit https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/position/36961 and submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae which includes a list of publications, a brief statement (1-2 pages) of research interests and goals, and contact information for three references. These positions are subject to the University's background check policy. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University.
