Job description
This award-winning regional nonprofit health system has launched a 20-physician hematology and oncology program, fueled by philanthropic investment and a dynamic collaboration with the University of Illinois system. This is a unique opportunity to shape how care is provided in the region as founding Director of Hematologic Malignancies, building the group's culture and a cellular therapy program with a robust focus on Phase 1 & 2 clinical trials.
Your Opportunity to Lead:
• Become a key contributor to Phase 1 & 2 clinical trials as you build the program, with 40% protected research and leadership time
• Optional academic faculty appointment, access to a basic science lab, and partnership with the University of Illinois system, the largest medical school system in the US
• New $250 million, state-of-the-art cancer center with Epic EMR
• Salaries start at $600K, with additional compensation for your leadership time + generous sign-on
• Reasonable patient volumes with the autonomy to build the practice you want, and very little benign hematology
• Full health benefits, occurrence-based malpractice, relocation assistance, CME, 401(k) match and PSLF eligibility
About the Community:
• This vibrant community of 400K is consistently ranked among the top 150 best metro areas to live in the US, offering affordability and a high quality of life. It's perfectly positioned between St. Louis & Chicago for quick getaways.
• History buffs love exploring the city's rich past, while art enthusiasts will appreciate the vibrant scene of theaters, music venues and galleries. Families will find lots of kids' activities and excellent public and private school options.
• With its international airport, two universities and beautiful riverfront, it offers all the conveniences of a large college town in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
