The Princeton Branch focuses on cancer metabolism—its roles in tumor growth and metastasis, its connections to the microbiome and immune system and its manipulation by diet and drugs—all with the aim of improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
The Ludwig Princeton Branch is dedicated to the investigation of cancer metabolism and the development of novel metabolic interventions for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignancies. Our researchers explore crosstalk between the microbiome, major body organs, immune cells and tumors; metabolic rewiring in cancer metastasis; and mechanisms by which advanced cancers promote cachexia, the severe loss of body mass that often contributes to cancer mortality. We also investigate the influence of diet on cancer metabolism, including how diet affects the tumor microenvironment, anti-cancer immune response, cancer risk, disease progression and patient responses to therapy. The Branch is located at Princeton University and affiliated with RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
The Department of Chemistry and the Ludwig Princeton Branch at Princeton University seek a core facility director at the Professional Specialist rank to manage a new Proteomics Mass Spectrometry Facility. The successful candidate will play a leading role in equipping the Facility with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry capacity, establishing an effective proteomics pipeline (from sample prep through data analysis), and in interfacing with a vibrant community of faculty and research scientists. Applicants should have a Ph.D. (or comparable skills due to work experience) and demonstrated proficiency in quantitative proteomics. Applicants must apply online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/25241 and submit a cover letter, CV, and the names and email addresses of 3 references. This position is subject to the University’s background check policy. Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Requisition No: D-22-CHM-00007
Princeton University seeks applications for an assistant, associate or full professor to contribute to a major new initiative at the interface between the physical and computational sciences and disease biology, with a particular focus on cancer and metabolism at the Ludwig Princeton Branch. Candidate selected will be appointed to a tenured or tenure-track position in an academic department at Princeton appropriate for the candidate’s area of specialization and will also hold a corresponding membership in the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research.
Responsibilities include teaching, service (both in accordance with the standards for the academic department in which the candidate is appointed) and research, including operation of a vibrant research group to benefit from both Princeton University and Ludwig Princeton Branch funding (with expectations to compete also for external funds). Candidates are expected to devote a meaningful portion of their research effort to work that bridges between a hard science, computer science, or engineering discipline and an area of biology of relevance to the Ludwig Princeton Branch, such as cancer, metabolism, immunology or the microbiome. Applicants are expected to hold a PhD or MD, optionally with relevant additional research experience (industrial, postdoctoral, or as a faculty member) and a strong track record of research accomplishments. We value building a culturally diverse intellectual community; women and members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants should submit a description of research interests (typically 2 – 3 pages), curriculum vitae, a list of publications and contact information for three referees online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/26805. For fullest consideration, please apply by September 1, 2022. Late applications may be reviewed up to December 1, 2022.
