The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrens Hospital of Chicago and the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine seek a nationally recognized leader in the clinician-educator track to be Section Head of Neuro-Oncology and the Director of the Brain Tumor Program.

The successful candidate should have a national reputation in the field of pediatric neuro-oncology and possess a vision for the growth of all aspects of a nationally recognized center of excellence, including its clinical, research, educational and advocacy missions. The qualified applicant will have a strong track record of research/scholarly productivity, experience in program development/operations and demonstrated mentoring and leadership skills.

The program actively engages in clinical trials through investigator-initiated efforts, consortia participation (COG, Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC), Neurofibromatosis Clinical Trials Consortium (NCTC), Collaborative Ependymoma Research Network (CERN)) and industry partnerships as well as basic/translational and patient outcomes research. The program also supports an advanced fellowship in pediatric neuro-oncology.

The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Lurie Childrens Hospital and the Division of Hematology, Oncology & Stem Cell Transplantation are nationally ranked by U.S. News & World and comprise 28 physician/physician scientist faculty, 2 PhD research faculty and 38 advanced practice providers across sections of Hematology, Oncology, Neuro-Oncology, and Stem Cell Transplantation.

We also have an outstanding ACGME-accredited fellowship program with 10 to 11 current fellows and advanced fellows.

Applicants must have an M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent degree and be board-certified in pediatric hematology/oncology and advanced training in pediatric neuro-oncology. Academic rank will be determined by track record and experience.
