Welcome to the American Association for Cancer Research's (AACR) career opportunities section. We are a large, professional association working toward the cure and prevention of cancer. Our progress and success depend upon the dedication of our member scientists and a committed staff to help support our mission.

The AACR offers a unique opportunity for the qualified individual to make a difference, by becoming part of its committed staff. We have a comprehensive benefits package, which includes medical, dental and life insurance, tuition assistance and other benefits. Our headquarters is conveniently located in the vicinity of historic Independence Mall in Old City Philadelphia, accessible to various types of public transportation.

To expand our efforts to influence additional funding for cancer research, we have recently opened the AACR Washington, D.C. office, which houses the Office of Science Policy and Legislative Affairs.
