The Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a physician scientist to join the Department as an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor on the Tenure track. This position is ideally suited for a physician-scientist with a translational research focus combining laboratory-based research effort, clinical effort and teaching effort. In additional to clinical responsibilities, the candidate must develop an independent research program.  The successful applicant is expected to develop an academic laboratory-based program relevant to the field of radiation therapy (e.g. radiation biology, chemical biology, cancer biology, immunology, bioinformatics, etc.).

M.D. with completion of post-graduate training in an ACGME-certified Radiation Oncology residency program. Must be Board Certified or Board eligible by the American Board of Radiology. Hold, or have the ability to obtain, the appropriate medical licenses in the State of Michigan. Previous record of publications in scientific journals, experience in clinical research and teaching. The candidate will ultimately be required to develop peer-reviewed extramural funding as a Principal Investigator. 

The first criterion for this appointment is that the candidate must have achieved (or, in the case of Assistant Professors, have the promise to achieve) true distinction in scholarship. Faculty rank will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate. The successful applicant will spend a portion of time in clinical radiation therapy and teaching graduate students, research-oriented medical students, and radiation oncology residents and fellows, as well as participate in teaching and clinical research programs. Clinical disease site assignment will be based on individual expertise and departmental need.  Independence in research by way of a record of first authored publications in first tier peer-reviewed journals would also provide evidence of the candidate's capability to develop a significant independent research career. The candidate must also have the ability to develop a substantial record of non-didactic teaching with the potential to develop a scholarly reputation at the national level.

This position can be filled as an Assistant Professor or an Associate Professor. Rank of selected candidate is dependent upon qualifications.
