The Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto and the Division of Medical Oncology and Hematology at the University Health Network (UHN) and Sinai Health Systems (SHS) are seeking to recruit an energetic and innovative physician with expertise in Medical Oncology specifically within Sarcoma (major site specialty). The ability to include another tumor site, as a minor interest is desirable.  The anticipated start date is June 1, 2020, or shortly thereafter. 

The successful applicant will have a demonstrated passion for the medical care of cancer patients as well as a strong interest in teaching and/or quality improvement.  The successful applicant will join a multidisciplinary team in the management of patients with solid tumour malignancies and will work in collaboration with the clinical genomics and clinical trials programs, within a comprehensive cancer centre setting.  In addition, the candidate will be expected to engage in clinical, translational, or basic research. Other responsibilities include teaching at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The Sarcoma Program at the UHN and SHS is the largest such program in Canada, and is among the largest in North America. The program supports extensive clinical, translational, and basic research initiatives including a large clinical trials program. Additionally, the Division of Medical Oncology and Hematology supports a comprehensive training program attracting both national and international fellows.

The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre includes the Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI), while Mount Sinai Hospital includes the Lunenfeld-Tenanbaum Research Institute. These are  world-class basic and translational research institutes with particular strengths in Genomics, Immunology, Stem Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, and Cell Therapeutics. The close association between clinicians and scientists within both institutions provides the opportunity for collaborations on disease biology and the development of innovative and informative translational studies, allowing the applicant to achieve the goal of bench-to-bedside medicine. In addition, the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Mount Sinai Hospital support active and widely recognized clinical trials and drug development programs and maintains a state-of-the-art GMP cell processing facility. Both institutions are affiliated with the University of Toronto, which is world-recognized for programs in areas including Biochemistry, Immunology, Stem Cell Biology, Genomics, Proteomics, and Cell Processing, among others. Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Mount Sinai Hospital are teaching hospitals, dedicated to educating the world’s future top cancer experts. Our role as an internationally respected teaching hospital keeps us and our students abreast of the latest medical developments and the most advanced technology. 

The successful candidate must be eligible for a full time clinical academic appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor or higher.  It is expected that the candidate will be hired into one of the University of Toronto Clinician Investigator, Clinician Scientist, Clinician Teacher, Clinician Educator or Clinician Quality & Innovation tracks.  The applicant must also have, or be eligible for registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and hold MD and FRCPC qualifications as well as Medical Oncology (or equivalent) specialist designation.  Academic rank, salary and contractual arrangements will be commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.  A highly attractive remuneration package is available.
