The candidate’s primary appointment will be in an appropriate Fred Hutch scientific division (e.g., Human Biology, Basic Sciences, Translational Sciences and Therapeutics, Public Health Sciences) along with a joint appointment in the Fred Hutch Radiation Oncology division. The candidate will also receive a joint academic appointment in the department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington at a level commensurate with experience, qualifications, and academic rank. Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off.

This faculty position will have a focus in translational research with significant support and protected time for laboratory work with some additional expectation of clinical care and teaching. Teaching responsibilities may involve oversight of residents during outpatient rotations, participation in the resident didactic curriculum, and delivery of informal teaching sessions and formal lectures to providers and the general medical community.

Applicants will have completed their residency in an ACGME accredited program. The area of clinical focus will be determined by the programmatic needs of the Department, as well as the area of expertise in the case of established investigators. Experience in complex radiation treatment planning and delivery (VMAT, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)/stereotactic radiosurgery, IGRT, proton therapy etc.) are desired.

Faculty are expected to perform their primary activities on-site at Fred Hutch.
