Position Description

The University of Washington (UW) is recruiting three (3) full-time faculty members in Radiation Oncology as an Associate or Full Professor without tenure by reason of funding.  This will be a position with a clinical practice and protected time for scholarly activity.  The disease site specialization will be determined based upon the needs of the department, the interests of the candidate and as approved by the Chair.  The Department of Radiation Oncology has an established mentorship program that supports junior faculty and others in professional development.  All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service.

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

Faculty in the Department of Radiation Oncology practice at several of our partner institutions:  Fred Hutch Cancer Center (which includes Seattle Proton Center, South Lake Union Cancer Clinic, Peninsula/Poulsbo Cancer Center and FHCC Northwest Hospital), University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle Children's Hospital, Harborview Medical Center and VA Puget Sound, provide an extensive and outstanding array of radiation oncology modalities for cancer patients. Technical capabilities of the Department include 8 Elekta linear accelerators, 1 Varian Ethos, IMRT, VMAT and SBRT capability, Gammaknife radiosurgery with the Perfexion ICON system for multi-fraction SRT; 7 CT simulators, direct access to MRI and PET/CT based planning; Pinnacle, CMS, Raystation, MIM, LDR and HDR brachytherapy, IORT, intravascular brachytherapy, respiratory gating, C-RAD and Calypso beacon localization.

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.
