Position Description

The University of Washington (UW) is recruiting a full-time faculty member in Radiation Oncology on the clinician-educator pathway as an Associate or Full Professor without tenure (WOT) for the CNS Radiation Oncology service.   The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build and engage with a world-class clinical and translational research program in CNS oncology with support/infrastructure for a portfolio of novel, investigator-initiated clinical trials.  For the appropriately qualified candidate, there will be leadership opportunities in the areas of clinical operations and programmatic leadership in the multi-disciplinary CNS radiation oncology program.  All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service

The successful candidate will be proposed for appointment to the full-time faculty at the University of Washington on the clinician-educator pathway as an Associate or Full Professor (without tenure by reason of funding) with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2023.  Associate and full professors WOT hold indefinite appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). 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.  Appointment rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. We are seeking highly motivated applicants to advance our mission of clinical care, research, education, and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply.

Department Overview:

UW Medicine and its partner institutions (UWMC, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center, Seattle Proton Center, Seattle Children’s Hospital, VA Puget Sound) provide an extensive and outstanding array of radiation oncology modalities for cancer patients. The Department of Radiation Oncology treats over 2,800 patients annually from a multi-state region covering over 25% of the U.S. geographic area. The University of Washington has the only Radiation Oncology department in North America that has clinical particle beam delivery systems for both proton and neutron therapy.  Our clinical approach is collaborative with numerous multidisciplinary clinics and tumor boards. At UW Medicine patients with brain and spinal cord tumors are cared for in the multidisciplinary setting of the Alvord Brain Tumor Center with multiple weekly tumor boards, as well as close clinical, research, and educational partnerships with the departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Medical Oncology, Radiology, and Pathology. We enjoy strong collaborations with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.  The Department has 29 physicians, 8 advanced practice providers, 26 physicists, and 3 research faculty.  Educational opportunities in our residency programs, fellowship programs and post-doctoral fellowships abound. A strong interest and commitment to research and education is expected, as well as strong collaboration with the multidisciplinary clinical teams.

The City of Seattle:

Amenities include restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, cinema, live theater, live music, art, pop culture, a foodie scene, and urban homesteading. Seattle is the gateway to the great outdoors with hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, sailing, kayaking, fishing, and whale watching within an hour of the city. Beyond the mountains to the west, there is the Pacific Ocean and, to the east, deserts, fruit, and wine country.
