The selected candidate will help build a clinical translational research program that focuses on the amelioration of immunotherapy-related adverse events (IRAEs) via novel therapeutic trials alongside the interrogation of clinical data and biological specimens utilizing the state-of-the-art resources of the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center and affiliates. In addition, the successful candidate will be encouraged to collaborate with laboratory investigators with a focus on related biological pathways. 

 

 

The chosen candidate will devote 50% effort to patient care and will be responsible for teaching fellows and students in the outpatient setting. The academic appointment will be at the Instructor/ Assistant/ Associate Professor level at Harvard Medical School and determined by the applicant's credentials. Salary and benefits will be competitive with other institutions. Applicants should have an MD or equivalent and should be board certified in Internal Medicine and board certified or board eligible Medical Oncology.
