Faculty Position in Brain Cancer Research – Virginia Tech Partnership with Children’s National Hospital

Virginia Tech (VT) is recruiting to fill a tenure track faculty position at the assistant or associate professor level in brain cancer research in partnership with the Children’s National Hospital (CNH).  This new faculty position represents part of a major collaborative research initiative between VT and CNH.  The position will be located in Virginia Tech’s new state of the art research facilities at the new Children’s National Research and Innovation Campus (CNRIC - https://childrensnational.org/news-and-events/photo-gallery/research-and-innovation-campus-virtual-tour) in Washington DC.  The position will be on the tenure track at Virginia Tech and part of the university’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute (FBRI - https://fbri.vtc.vt.edu/) in Roanoke, Virginia on the VT Health Sciences and Technology campus that also has a growing presence on the CNRIC in Washington, DC.
