The Department of Medicine at our organization is seeking applications and nominations for the role of Division Chief of Hematology/Oncology. This position presents a remarkable opportunity for a distinguished academic physician to guide a developing division within a dynamic, mission-focused academic health system.

At our medical center, you will become part of a collaborative network of clinicians, researchers, educators, and trainees dedicated to enhancing discovery, improving patient outcomes, and preparing the next generation of leaders in cancer care.

A Division within a Comprehensive Academic Cancer Program
The Cancer Center at our organization is dedicated to advancing oncology through innovative research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient-centered care. The Hematology/Oncology Division is integrated within a comprehensive cancer program and serves as the academic foundation for faculty and practices at our medical center, as well as two affiliated community cancer sites in the Greater Boston area.

This framework offers a unique opportunity for translational research, population health initiatives, and the expansion of clinical trials across varied patient demographics.

The clinical practice excels in several key areas, including a specialized program for amyloidosis and myeloma, an autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplant program, active CAR-T trials for both malignant and non-malignant conditions, an Adolescent and Young Adult Survivor Program, and patient navigation services tailored to the Boston Chinatown and Asian language communities. The clinical practice encompasses the Boston site within the academic medical center and two community practices equipped with full infusion centers.

The Division enjoys substantial institutional backing for research through the Neely Center for Cancer Clinical Research, which oversees a diverse and active portfolio of clinical trials, including cooperative group, industry-sponsored, and investigator-initiated studies.

Faculty members collaborate extensively with the Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute and basic and translational researchers across our organization, creating valuable opportunities to connect laboratory discoveries with clinical applications.

The Research Enterprise at our institution prioritizes cancer research as one of five key areas for investment and growth, providing resources for pilot projects, supporting multidisciplinary translational research teams, and facilitating cluster hires.

The Cancer Center holds multiple national accreditations (CoC, NAPBC, FACT, ACR), demonstrating a strong commitment to excellence in both clinical care and research.

The Division fosters robust partnerships with the School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. These collaborations enhance interdisciplinary research, grant development, and innovative educational initiatives.

Our medical center serves as the primary academic teaching hospital for the School of Medicine and offers a highly regarded fellowship program in Hematology and Oncology. The Division Chief will play a pivotal role in promoting educational excellence, mentoring faculty and trainees, and strengthening the academic pipeline.

The Division Chief will provide strategic leadership across all missions—clinical care, research, and education—with a particular focus on:

• Expanding the Division's research portfolio, including clinical trials and translational science
