Title: Clinical Assistant Professor, Radiation Oncology, FHCC Peninsula
Position Details
Position Description
The University of Washington (UW) is recruiting a full-time faculty member in Radiation Oncology who will join the community based Fred Hutch Cancer Center (FHCC) Peninsula clinic in Poulsbo, Washington; a successful established community cancer center with 3.5 radiation oncologists as well as medical oncology services serving patients on the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas. All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. The successful candidate will be expected to advance the department's mission of clinical care, research, education, and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
The selected candidates will be proposed for appointment to the full-time faculty at the University of Washington as a Clinical Assistant Professor with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2023 or earlier. Clinical Assistant Professors hold annual appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30) and may be reappointed to subsequent annual terms. 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.
The radiation oncology service provides a full complement of radiation treatments including SBRT and brachytherapy services. Successful candidates will have interest and strong commitment to providing exceptional patient care and service. Responsibilities of the radiation oncologist include evaluation and treatment of patients, participation in tumor boards as well as community events to build and maintain the site of practice. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to clinical program growth as well as educational, scientific and outreach efforts relating to these programs.
NOTE: This position may require work to be performed on-site at a Fred Hutch Cancer Center (FHCC) facility. FHCC requires all individuals, including University of Washington faculty clinicians, working at a FHCC facility to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Unlike UW’s vaccination policy which is appended below, the FHCC policy does not provide for religious or medical exemptions. As such, a UW offer associated with this recruitment is contingent upon, among other things, the preferred candidate demonstrating that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by no later than the commencement of their appointment.
