The Division of Hematology/Oncology and Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine is recruiting a full-time Pediatric Oncologist on the Faculty Scientist track at the level of Assistant Professor, without tenure due to funding (WOT), commensurate with experience and qualifications. This is a multi-year appointment over a 12 month service period, July 1 to June 30.

This position will support the department's commitment to basic and/or translational cancer research that is relevant to children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer. Ample laboratory space and resources for the candidate will be provided by the Seattle Children’s Research Institute, where the investigator will join the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research.

In addition to leading their own independent research program, the candidate will provide up to 25% effort to the clinical care of patients as part of a talented multidisciplinary team at Seattle Children’s Hospital, the largest pediatric cancer program in the Pacific Northwest.

All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service.

Application Instructions
