Chief, Division of Hematology and Oncology

The UC Davis School of Medicine seeks a distinguished, forward thinking, and collaborative physician leader to serve as the next Chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology(Chief) within the Department of Internal Medicine. The Chief will guide a highly specialized team of solid tumor medical oncologists and hematologists whose work is fully integrated with the NCI-designated UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. This leader will work in close partnership with the Division of Malignant Hematology/Cellular Therapy and Transplantation to advance a unified strategy for exceptional patient care, innovative research, and education across the cancer enterprise.

The Division of Hematology and Oncology currently includes 27 faculty and a robust team of clinical and administrative staff, supported further by dedicated Cancer Center personnel who enable seamless coordination of care and research activities. The Division manages a wide spectrum of disorders benefiting from UC Davis's subspecialized oncology model in which medical oncologists collaborate with multidisciplinary disease focused teams to tailor precision, patient centered care. The Division faculty are highly productive in field-leading research, with more than $33 million in externally funded research.

The School of Medicine is among the nation's leading medical schools committed to scholarly advancement and education - including a highly regarded, competitive, and fully accredited residency training program - and it is consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report for these efforts. The Institution excels at translating scientific discoveries and new technology into improved patient care with a research-funding portfolio of over 1,300 active awards with more than $400 million in extramural funding. As the clinical engine, UC Davis Health (UCDH) is a multibillion-dollar health system within the University of California System with more than 1.2 million outpatient and 40,000 inpatient visits each year across the 646-bed academic medical center, 32 ambulatory sites, and a 1,000-member medical group.

The Chief will lead this academically strong and rapidly evolving Division, cultivating a collaborative environment that advances clinical excellence, scientific innovation, education, and faculty development. The new Chief will shape a strategic vision to expand the Division's research impact, advance and grow its clinical operations, and strengthen its partnerships within the Cancer Center. The ideal candidate will be a respected physician leader with demonstrated leadership in medical oncology, both in the clinical and research realms. Board certification in medical oncology and completion of ACGME accredited training are required, as well as achievements to merit associate professor or professor rank at UC Davis School of Medicine. For the qualified candidate, additional cancer center leader opportunities may be available.
