Assistant or Associate Palliative Care Program, on the Clinical Scholar pathway with an approximate 50:50 contribution to clinical service and academic pursuits.
The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) and the University of Washington (UW) are jointly recruiting a full-time faculty member at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor level without tenure due to funding (WOT), in the Clinical Research Division of the Fred Hutch and an appropriate Division at the UW depending on training and specialty. Academic appointments at the University of Washington will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, and academic rank. University of Washington assistant professors WOT are eligible for multi-year appointments and associate professors WOT hold indefinite appointments that both align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service.
The selected individual is expected to contribute to our mission of delivering outstanding clinical care and developing excellence in clinical research in palliative care. This position is in the Clinician Scholar track.
The successful candidate will have clinical responsibilities on the outpatient and/or inpatient palliative care service based on the candidate's interests (and institutional need). This will comprise approximately 40% of the faculty member's time.
Fred Hutch and University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. Ten percent of the faculty member's time will be protected for administrative oversight of Palliative Care-related fellowship activities for medical oncology and palliative care fellows. Teaching responsibilities will include clinical oversight of fellows, informal teaching sessions, and formal lectures to learners, providers, and the general medical community. The balance of time will be spent in research-related activities. At Fred Hutch, Clinician Scholars are expected to obtain externally funded research (e.g., grants, clinical trials), but this is not required if they maintain 50% of their time in clinical and/or administrative responsibilities.
Applicants must have an MD/DO degree (or foreign equivalent) and board certification (or be board eligible for current palliative care fellows) in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
While individuals with primary training in internal medicine are preferred, applicants with other training may apply (e.g., family medicine, anesthesiology, rehabilitation, psychiatry, surgery, etc.).

The ideal candidate will have a record of and primary interest in palliative care research, as demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications, grants, and/or clinical trial experience, as well as experience teaching palliative care learners.
