Candidates must have completed a fellowship in medical oncology (board-certified or -eligible at the time of appointment) (hematology desirable but not required) and must be eligible for medical licensure in the State of California. Experience in and the ability to teach medical students, residents, and fellows, as well as experience caring for Hematology/Oncology patients, is required.

The division is a major component of the NCI-designated UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and has a strong presence in the national cancer clinical trials cooperative groups. In 2026, the SWOG Operations Office will move to UC Davis. The division research portfolio is particularly broad and spans laboratory-based early translation to population sciences and health outcome disparities and has consistently the most extramural funding of any division in the Department of Internal Medicine.  The fellowship program has expanded and developed career pathways built on our tradition of producing outstanding clinicians to launch more fellows into academic careers. The UC Davis School of Medicine is in the top quarter of US medical schools for NIH funding and has a Clinical and Translational Science Awards hub since 2006. UC Davis Health has an expanding clinical footprint in the region and cancer care is one of the pillars of the clinical strategic plan.
