The academic appointment in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, and academic rank. 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.

We are seeking a physician-scientist who is a board certified or board eligible Radiation Oncologist and who has a laboratory research effort in an academic laboratory-based program relevant to the field of radiation oncology (e.g. cancer biology, radiation biology, immunology, cancer genomics, tumor microenvironment, radiation response in normal tissue/tumor, translational research, etc.).

This faculty position will have a focus in translational research with significant support and protected time for laboratory work with some additional expectation of clinical care and teaching. Teaching responsibilities will involve oversight of residents during outpatient rotations, participation in the resident didactic curriculum, and delivery of informal teaching sessions and formal lectures to providers and the general medical community.

Applicants will have completed their residency in an ACGME accredited program. The area of clinical focus will be determined by the programmatic needs of the Department, as well as the area of expertise in the case of established investigators. Experience in complex radiation treatment planning and delivery (VMAT, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)/stereotactic radiosurgery, IGRT, proton therapy etc.) are desired.
