Specifically, this position will support the Deputy Director, Scientific Programs, who oversees all AACR scientific working groups, AACR scientific achievement awards and lectureships, the Fellows of the AACR Academy, and all annual AACR committee appointments.

Collectively, the functions of the Assistant Director, Scientific Programs position will be to assist with new and ongoing scientific programs intended to further advance cancer research across a wide variety of scientific disciplines. Background knowledge of scientific research and experience working in a scientific environment are required for this position. Eligible candidates must possess a high level of attention to detail as well as exceptional organizational, writing, and communication skills.

One aspect of the AACR's mission is to strengthen, support, and promote focused scientific initiatives that facilitate increased progress and enhanced cutting-edge contributions to the understanding of cancer by select scientific disciplines. Pursuant to this mission, the AACR promotes enriched collaborations among cancer researchers with common interests in focused realms of cancer research. AACR scientific working groups function within the framework of the AACR to explore expanded research opportunities and to advance discoveries that lead to greater knowledge and understanding of cancer. There are currently eight AACR scientific working groups dedicated to the following scientific disciplines: cancer evolution, cancer prevention, cancer immunology, chemistry in cancer research, molecular epidemiology, pediatric cancer, radiation science and medicine and the tumor microenvironment. The need to establish additional groups dedicated to timely scientific areas is analyzed on a rolling basis in response to the needs of the cancer research community.

The Assistant Director, Scientific Programs will work closely with the leadership bodies of all scientific working groups and be responsible for assisting with the administration of all relevant programs, activities, and initiatives pertaining to all groups and will be tasked with ensuring the timely completion of all implemented projects.

These committees are formed to provide valuable support and guidance to AACR's leadership, shape the AACR's Annual Meeting, and assist with the selection of scientific achievement award and scientific research grant recipients. This position will be charged with researching and tracking established and potential committee members and as needed, will involve additional coordination of committee activities when applicable to the functions of the Executive Office.

Lastly, one of the major functions of the AACR is to recognize and honor outstanding scientific achievement across all cancer research disciplines. Two of the mechanisms by which the AACR accomplishes this goal is through its AACR Scientific Achievement Awards Program and the AACR Academy.

Annually, the AACR distributes over 20 scientific achievement awards and lectureships to laboratory researchers and physician-scientists who have made significant contributions to our understanding of the biology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer. Such individuals are selected through a formal nomination and election process and are celebrated throughout the year and primarily in conjunction with the AACR Annual Meeting.

Similarly, the mission of the AACR Academy is to recognize and honor distinguished scientists whose major scientific contributions have propelled significant innovation and progress against cancer, and to leverage the expertise of the global brain trust of Fellows of the AACR Academy to advance the mission of the AACR to prevent and cure all cancers through research, education, communication, collaboration, science policy and advocacy, and funding for cancer research.

Each year, a new class of Fellows are elected and inducted into the AACR Academy, which represents the pinnacle honorific bestowed by the AACR to any individual.
