Candidates must have strong clinical and scholarly backgrounds, with an ambition to succeed in discovery of new knowledge in either basic, clinical, or translational research.

While the program has broad interests and many potential opportunities for the successful candidate, particular areas of interest include a) innovative and experimental therapeutics with experience in implementing and leading novel therapeutic clinical trials in either oncology or hematology; b) education with a focus on teaching techniques, evidence-based teaching strategies, medical education scholarship, and contributing to career development of trainees especially in non-malignant hematology; c) quality and outcomes research either in oncology or hematology d) neuro-oncology and leukemia translational investigation. 

Beyond the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology the successful candidate will enjoy the exceptionally rich biomedical research enterprise at UT Southwestern Medical Center, including the brand-new School of Public Health, the Clinical Bioinformatics Center, the Biomedical Engineering Program, the NCI-designated Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, the McDermott Center for Human Growth and Development, the Green Center for Systems Biology, and the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute.

As one of the nation’s largest pediatric cancer and blood disease programs (approximately 300 new oncology and over 700 new hematology patients per year) in the nation’s fourth-largest metropolitan area, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center offers a superb milieu for career development.
