The Department of Radiation Oncology at Stanford University seeks a board certified or board eligible radiation oncologist to join as a Clinical Instructor in the Clinician Educator Line, with a clinical focus in central nervous system (CNS) and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong training in clinical radiation oncology; a track record of clinical research in CNS and GI oncology is desirable but not required. This is a mentored junior attending position for up to two years that would be valuable for a future faculty or clinical program leader position. The position is primarily in the clinical practice at Stanford's National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center at our main medical center campus in Stanford, California. It offers a focused experience in advanced radiation technologies including CyberKnife, ViewRay, Reflexion, and protons. We expect the successful candidate to work with the CNS and GI Radiation Oncology teams to support and expand the clinical research programs while providing clinical care for patients in a multi-disciplinary oncology setting.
It is anticipated that the successful faculty candidate will be an outstanding clinician, excellent clinical researcher, and committed teacher. The successful applicant should have their MD, completed their residency in an ACGME-accredited program, and have medical licensure in California by their start date.
The major criterion for appointment as Clinician Educators is excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, teaching, administrative and/or scholarship appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill.
The activities of the Department are diverse and include a strong translational research program. The Department is tightly integrated into the medical school and university, with many opportunities for collaborative research within the Stanford Cancer Institute, a National Cancer Institute Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Stanford Cancer Center Palo Alto practice has been fully accredited by ASTRO’s APEx – Accreditation Program for Excellence.
Applications will be reviewed beginning April 15 and accepted until May 18, 2025.
