The primary appointment will be in the Clinical Research Division of Fred Hutch.

The selected individual for the advertised position is expected to contribute to our mission of delivering outstanding clinical care and developing excellence in clinical research in autologous or allogeneic transplantation and immunotherapy. All clinical and translational research experiences and interests will be considered, specifically expertise and focus in an area of potential expansion (for example, non-malignant disorders in adults, gene therapies, other less well represented areas). Fred Hutch and University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. Teaching opportunities include oversight of advanced practice providers and fellows during inpatient and outpatient rotations, and delivery of informal teaching sessions and formal lectures to providers and the general medical community. This position is paid directly by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) and receives no UW compensation. Please refer to Fred Hutch for information about compensation for this position.
