Position Emphasis:

To recruit an outstanding mid-career to senior academic physician to join a robust and well-established cutaneous oncology program. The ideal candidate will have strong clinical skills in cutaneous medical oncology and have an interest in clinical and/or translational research in cutaneous cancer. The final candidate will be expected to provide clinical research leadership for the cutaneous oncology program which usually includes 2-3 full days a week of outpatient clinics and 2-4 weeks per year of inpatient coverage, which is negotiable depending on circumstances (e.g., protected time for research). Duties and responsibilities will include direct patient care and clinical research, plus an expectation to pursue and facilitate original research beyond enrolling in already designed and sponsored clinical trials. The candidate must have excellent clinical and research leadership skills and be able to work with a large team of clinicians, administrators, and staff across multiple sites of care and in a multidisciplinary format.

The cutaneous oncology program currently sees patients with all forms of skin cancer including malignant melanoma, squamous and basal cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma and unusual skin cancers. A specific program has been developed for the understanding and treatment of rare melanomas including mucosal, ocular and acral melanomas. All new patients are presented to a weekly multidisciplinary cutaneous oncology conference. The program has a large carefully annotated biorepository containing more than 5000 specimens with primary and metastatic skin cancers from patients with all stages and types of cutaneous tumors. Multiple clinical trials (an average of 12 active at any time) include those from national and international trial groups, pharmaceutical sponsors, and institutional investigators. These are supported by a large and well-funded clinical investigation core which also includes a very active phase 1 trials group. Attendance at a weekly clinical trials research conference, active engagement with other stakeholders in the cutaneous oncology program (e.g., dermatology, dermatopathology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology), and collaborations with basic, translational and population research colleagues are an essential part of this position. Members of the group have published more than 50 papers during the past year in peer-reviewed journals. The successful candidate will be expected to encourage, expedite, and carry on this tradition of academic excellence.

The program has a major teaching function for the institution with regular rotations of 3rd and 4th year medical students, residents, and fellows through the outpatient clinics and on the inpatient service. Members also provide updates in cutaneous oncology in the form of lectures and seminars to the greater professional and lay community in Colorado and surrounding states.

A highly competitive lab start-up package may be offered for a physician-scientist position, to be discussed during the recruitment process. For laboratory-based research, candidates with expertise and research interest in skin cancer prevention, population science, immuno-oncology, novel targeted therapies or therapy resistance will be given high priority.

Job Responsibilities:
The candidate will be expected to see patients diagnosed with or at risk for cutaneous cancer 2-3 full days a week (4-6 half day equivalents, depending on research interests, administrative roles, and funding). The candidate will serve in the inpatient rotation for coverage of the medical oncology consult service for 2-4 weeks per year. The candidate will serve as a mentor or advisor for clinical trainees and junior faculty in Medical Oncology, Dermatology (potentially), and the Cancer Center. The candidate will be expected to enroll patients to available clinical trials and lead clinical trials, either pharma, cooperative group, and/or investigator-initiated studies.
