GI MALIGNANCY PHYSICIAN–SCIENTIST OPPORTUNITY

Lead. Innovate. Build the Future of GI Oncology.

 

If you’ve reached a point in your career where growth, impact, and academic freedom matter more than maintaining the status quo, this may be the opportunity worth a conversation.

 

We are partnering with a rapidly expanding academic cancer program embarking on a major expansion of its Hematology–Oncology and GI Malignancies portfolio. This growth is creating rare leadership and program-building opportunities for visionary GI Malignancy specialists who want to shape clinical programs, drive research, and influence the next generation of oncologists.

 

This is not a replacement role—it’s a true expansion designed for physicians ready to build, lead, and innovate.

 

The Opportunity

The institution is seeking GI Malignancy-focused Medical Oncologists at the Assistant, Associate (open rank) Professor level who are excited by:

  • Program development and growth
  • Clinical research autonomy
  • Translational and investigator-initiated trials
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration
  • Academic advancement with leadership runway

These roles are ideal for clinicians who want their work to move the field forward, not just maintain it.

 

What You’ll Do

Program & Clinical Leadership

  • Help build and expand a GI Malignancy program with institutional backing and resources
  • Deliver high-quality, patient-centered care across GI cancers

Research & Innovation

  • Develop and lead investigator-initiated and collaborative clinical trials
  • Partner with basic and translational scientists to accelerate discovery
  • Leverage a robust Clinical Trials Office and research infrastructure

Education & Mentorship

  • Teach and mentor fellows, residents, and medical/graduate students
  • Contribute to the academic mission through scholarship and leadership

Collaboration

  • Work closely with Cancer Center leadership and multidisciplinary teams
  • Influence strategic growth across the cancer enterprise

Background Required

  • MD or DO (ABIM board-certified or board-eligible in Medical Oncology)
  • Focused expertise in GI Malignancies
  • Demonstrated or emerging interest in:
    • Clinical trial development
    • Translational research
    • Academic leadership and mentorship
  • Experience within an academic or research-oriented environment preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Significant program expansion with institutional investment
  • Autonomy to shape your clinical and research focus
  • Leadership and promotion runway
  • Collegial, collaborative academic culture
  • State-of-the-art facilities and diverse patient population
  • Competitive compensation and resources aligned with academic impact

These are career-defining roles, offering the chance to leave a lasting imprint on patient care, research, and education.

 

Let’s Talk

If you—or someone you trust—are even curious about what’s possible next, I’d welcome a confidential conversation. Many physicians we speak with aren’t actively looking, but are energized by the right combination of vision, resources, and opportunity.

Let’s explore whether this program aligns with your expertise, goals, and long-term vision.
