SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR:

The CBR Institute for Biomedical Research invites applications at the Assistant or Associate Professor level for the position of Scientific Director of the Center for Human Cell Therapy. The CHCT is a newly NIH funded facility at the CBR Institute for Biomedical Research in the Longwood Medical Campus. The mandate of the CHCT is to provide resources to all Harvard Medical School faculty to facilitate bench-to-bedside development of cellular therapies – including therapies based on adult or embryonic stem cells – for the treatment of damaged or diseased tissues. The Scientific Director of the CHCT will have close interaction with ongoing related research programs at the Harvard affiliated hospitals and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. The incumbent of this position will be provided with generous start-up funds and space to direct his/her own extramurally funded research program in areas related to stem cell or immunotherapy, such as stem/somatic cell biology, cell trafficking, or transplantation biology. The incumbent will also provide oversight of the Translational Cell Therapy Laboratory, which provides direction to principal investigators engaged in translational research projects involving human cells. An M.D. and/or Ph.D. with evidence of outstanding investigation and a record of collaborative interaction are essential. Prior experience overseeing a clinically related resource, i.e. the development of human cells for therapy, is desirable but not required.
