Description
The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) is recruiting a full-time faculty member at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level to join Fred Hutch’s Cancer Survivorship Program and help grow its research portfolio. The overall mission of the interdisciplinary Survivorship Program is to enhance the care of cancer survivors by 1) rigorous research with national and international impact, 2) provision of outstanding clinical care, and 3) education and outreach. Survivorship focuses on the health and well-being of a person with cancer from the time of diagnosis until the end of life. This includes the physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial effects of cancer that begin at diagnosis and continue through treatment and beyond.
Candidates with PhD, MD/DO, or equivalent are encouraged to apply – this includes but is not limited to those with training in medical oncology or psychology and biobehavioral sciences. The position is on the faculty/physician scientist (i.e., primarily research) pathway. However, candidates who wish to maintain a clinical practice (i.e., 20-30% time) are encouraged to apply and can be integrated into Fred Hutch’s Survivorship, Oncology, or Supportive Care clinics at Fred Hutch based on the best fit.
Research areas of interest include but are not limited to: lifestyle or other interventions to mitigate late (medical or psychosocial) effects, biobehavioral research, health services, dissemination and implementation science. We seek candidates with a research interest in adult cancer survivorship (young adults to geriatrics). Of note, this recruitment is not targeting candidates who focus primarily on survivors of childhood or adolescent cancers as those areas are well represented in our current faculty, nor candidates who are primarily focused on bench based laboratory research. The successful candidate will develop/continue an independent research program within our collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, which includes access to extensive cutting-edge Shared Resources.
Fred Hutch is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington.
With a track record of global leadership in cancer, bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy, and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading cancer and infectious disease-focused biomedical research centers with a strong portfolio in both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures to the world’s deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer a reality.
At Fred Hutch we value collaboration, compassion, determination, excellence, innovation, integrity, and respect. Our mission is directly tied to the humanity, dignity and inherent value of each employee, patient, community member and supporter. Our commitment to learning across our differences and similarities makes us stronger. We seek employees who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems.
Faculty will join a supportive and highly collaborative environment that is committed to ensuring the development and success of strong research and mentoring programs. Fred Hutch, together with the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital, is an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center with active training programs for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Fred Hutch is a modern campus located next to Lake Union in Seattle, Washington, and is close to other non-profit research institutes and the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital.
