The NCI-Designated Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) and the Department of Public Health Sciences (DPHS), based within the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level to help grow a new Implementation Science Initiative within the HCC Cancer Prevention and Control Program. This new initiative reflects HCC and DPHS’s commitment to accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries into real-world improvements in cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship outcomes. By providing centralized implementation science expertise, infrastructure, training, and strategic partnerships, the initiative will help bridge the gap between evidence-based cancer research and its adoption in clinical and community settings across South Carolina and beyond. This new position offers opportunities to contribute innovative research, and mentorship to our growing initiative, and to build collaborations with clinicians, researchers, community partners, and health systems.
