Assistant/Associate/Full Clinical or Tenure Track Professor of Radiation Oncology

Position Information: The individual will be able to choose between either a TENURE TRACK or PROFESSIONAL/CLINICAL TRACK position, provided they meet the qualifications, with rank and tenure status determined based on experience level. Both positions come with similar responsibilities: the incumbent will oversee radiation oncology clinical case management, provide high quality clinical and pre-clinical teaching, demonstrate research productivity through the procurement of external grant funding and the publication of peer-reviewed scientific papers, and participate in college and departmental committees. The difference is that faculty in professional/clinical track positions spend a majority of their time in the clinic (34 weeks), with a small proportion of their time (5-10%) dedicated to research. By contrast, faculty in tenure track positions are expected to develop and/or run an independent research program, with a focus in clinical, translational, and/or basic research in the cancer and/or radiation-related sciences. Many collaborative research opportunities exist within the NC State University Comparative Medicine Institute, as well as with neighboring institutions including UNC Chapel Hill, Duke University, and Wake Forest University. Often, our faculty become eligible for associate membership in these NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers. Notably, the NC State Radiation Oncology team actively participates in a variety of clinical trials, and we are fortunate in that clinical research efforts are well-supported by our Clinical Studies Core, which provides assistance in study design, coordination and implementation. In addition to clinical service and research, the successful candidate will be responsible for participation in professional outreach, committee service, teaching, and curriculum development. Faculty radiation oncologists at NC State participate in resident training, and they assist in teaching general oncology in the professional DVM curriculum, host an elective course in feline oncology, and support elective clinical rotations in radiation oncology for 4th year veterinary students. There are additional opportunities for mentoring graduate students.

Qualifications: A DVM or an equivalent degree and completion of a Radiation Oncology residency and ACVR-RO board eligibility are required by start date. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are also required. Additionally, the individual must possess a demonstrated ability to work with others in a collegial team atmosphere and an aptitude for and desire to teach and mentor veterinary students and residents. Eligibility for veterinary licensure (or faculty certificate) in the State of North Carolina is also required. Preference will be given to applicants who are Board Certified in Radiation Oncology. Graduate research training is preferred for candidates for the tenure track position.
