The selected individual for the advertised position is expected to contribute to our mission of delivering outstanding clinical care and developing excellence in clinical research in neuro-oncology. All clinical and translational research experiences and interests will be considered, and expertise and focus in developing a robust clinical trial portfolio for the treatment of primary glial neoplasms, meningiomas and brain metastases is highly desirable.
