The Department of Medical Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) and the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) are inviting applications for a Translational and Clinical Investigator (MD or MD/PhD). Appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the DFCI Department of Medical Oncology, Pediatric Oncology, Supportive Oncology, or Radiation Oncology will be commensurate with qualifications, experience and institutional policies.

In this position, the successful candidate will build a translational and clinical cancer research program that focuses on interrogation of clinical data and biological specimens utilizing the state-of-the-art resources of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the Harvard Cancer Consortium, and other HMS affiliates, as well as collaborating with laboratory-based investigators. The appointee will be encouraged to translate their research into innovative clinical trials, novel biomarkers and/or preventive interventions. The successful candidate will be part of a working group of investigators who can share knowledge and best practices to further advance our understanding of clinically relevant cancer biology. Candidates with advanced training in research methods are especially desired. Applicants should have demonstrated early success with a strong track record of publication and/or receipt of peer-reviewed funding and/or documented ability to create a promising research program.

This position does not offer independent laboratory space, will be based at the DFCI, and office space will be in the Division where the successful applicant will practice clinically. The investigator is expected to participate in Harvard University courses/workshops for medical students and fellows taught in the School of Medicine and supervise postdoctoral fellows and graduate students in clinical and research settings.

Qualified applicants should have an MD or MD/PhD degree and should be board‑certified or board‑eligible in their respective specialty. Salary and benefits will be competitive with other institutions.
