The Opportunity
Reporting directly to Boris Pasche, MD, PhD, CEO & President of Karmanos Cancer Center/Chair of Oncology at Wayne State University, the GU MDT Leader & Medical Director of the Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence will guide a talented team of 16 physician faculty, advance innovative clinical care, and influence the cancer center's future through senior leadership committees.
Additionally, this leader will set the strategic direction for the prostate cancer research program, guide the design and execution of research initiatives, strengthen integration between basic and clinical science, and oversee a robust and growing clinical trial portfolio.
Karmanos continues to strengthen its clinical and research enterprise, and in addition to its clinical trials portfolio, the Institute currently has a robust theranostics program under review and is actively expanding its sites of care. The Cancer Center resubmitted its CCSG in January 2026, and its catchment area encompasses 6.7 million residents, with a richly diverse population across ethnic and socioeconomic lines, providing a unique environment for advancing health disparities research and more.

The GU MDT Leader should have experience developing and leading high-functioning teams, advancing clinical trials, and maintaining a research program supported by NIH, industry, foundation, or other sources. Candidates must hold an MD, DO, or equivalent terminal medical degree and maintain current board certification in an oncology specialty.
The Organization
The Genitourinary (GU) Oncology program at Karmanos Cancer Institute has been considered a strength for many years and serves as a model to the other disease site teams. As part of McLaren Health Care, the Karmanos Cancer Institute is Michigan's only hospital dedicated exclusively to cancer care and the state's largest cancer research and provider network. Karmanos supports one of the nation's most extensive clinical trials programs, including a robust Phase I program housed within the Eisenberg Center for Translational Therapeutics, the only program of its kind in Michigan. Through 17 network sites, Karmanos serves patients across 47 counties in Michigan and northern Ohio, reaching urban, suburban, and rural communities.
McLaren Health Care is a $6 billion, fully integrated delivery system spanning 15 hospitals across Michigan and Ohio.

The Region
Detroit is enjoying an amazing renaissance, marked by urban revitalization and significant infrastructure investment. Michigan offers diverse geography and abundant opportunities for an active lifestyle; its two peninsulas, bordered by four Great Lakes, provide more freshwater shoreline than any other state in the nation.
