Bone Marrow Transplantation Oncologist

About the Role

The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNMCCC) and the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology, invite applications from physicians or physician scientists with expertise in hematologic malignancies, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and innovative cell-based or targeted immunotherapies. This position is a key component of our faculty expansion as the cancer center completes a major new facility. The role involves providing inpatient and outpatient consultative services, conducting clinical or translational research, and teaching medical students, residents, and fellows.

You will join a close-knit academic environment as the only NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center within 500 miles. The position offers the opportunity to provide multidisciplinary care for patients with hematologic malignancies and to enroll patients in investigator-initiated and cooperative group clinical trials. The Division features full-time Medical Oncology Inpatient Providers during the week, with outpatient APP support available. Faculty are expected to cover inpatient duties on weekends.

About the Team and Expansion

UNMCCC is excited to introduce new and expanded services to New Mexico through its current expansion project. This includes the state's only radiotherapy MR Linear Accelerator, which allows for real-time imaging during treatment to improve precision medicine. The project also provides a new cGMP laboratory to expand bone marrow transplant and cell-based therapy programs, along with increased treatment space for targeted radioisotope theragnostics. Most of these new services are not offered anywhere else in New Mexico.
