We are seeking qualified candidates for a faculty position in Hematology-Oncology with special expertise in hemostasis-thrombosis. 

The Division of Hematology and Oncology consists of 31 physicians and 24 research faculty members that perform clinical, teaching and research activities.  Due to an increase in patient volume and large referral base, there is a need to add a second physician in the Benign Hematology Multidisciplinary team with expertise in hemostasis thrombosis.  The successful candidate must have interests in teaching and research as well as a strong clinical focus.

The Division of Hematology and Oncology has active clinical and basic research programs in benign and malignant hematology and oncology, all closely aligned with the research programs of the Cancer Center.  In hemostasis-thrombosis, we participate in the CDC thrombophilia program and have a comprehensive hemophilia program.  The Division teaches at all levels of medical education from medical student through post graduate education.  Our fellowship program in Hematology and Medical Oncology is designed for those individuals desiring a career in academic medicine and leads to board eligibility in both hematology, and medical oncology. Clinical services are performed at the state-of-the-art Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Center. With more than 6,000 new patients annually and a budget of $200 million, conducting more than 400 cancer-specific scientific investigation programs and clinical trials, the Institute is among the nation’s foremost cancer centers.  We also provide hematology consultation for several hospitals in our immediate area including Harper-Hutzel, Detroit Receiving and the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan.

The Wayne State University School of Medicine is the nation’s largest single-campus medical school in the country, with over 700 faculty, 1,000 medical students and more than 400 graduate students. As the only medical school in Detroit, WSU has a stated mission to improve the overall health of the community and a large proportion of faculty committed to urban medicine. As part of this mission, the School has established, with the help of a $6 million NIH grant, the Center for Urban & African-American Health to seek new ways to redress health disparities by identifying preventive strategies and therapeutic approaches to chronic diseases that plague this population, many of which have implications for hemostasis-thrombosis including obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

The candidate must be eligible for licensure to practice medicine in the State of Michigan and Board Certified in Hematology/Oncology. This position offers a faculty appointment in the School of Medicine and a tenured system professorship will be available for the appropriate candidate. The successful candidate must have a strong belief and commitment to clinical and academic excellence.
