Summary: The Department of Clinical Genomics is seeking a full-time BC/BE MD, MD/PhD, or DO who has completed ACGME-approved residency training in Med/Peds, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Pediatrics to join our dynamic team. Experience caring for cancer patients or with cancer genetics is a plus but is not required, as is 3+ years’ experience post-specialty training as an independent practitioner.

Reporting to Kenan Onel, MD, PhD, the successful candidate will serve as a key driver of precision prevention and wellness for high-risk patients and families. The candidate will oversee and coordinate ongoing care for both children and adults, taking advantage of the many high-risk specialty clinics at Roswell Park that are affiliated with the Department. They will drive clinical innovation, optimize patient care, and enhance the center’s reputation as a global leader in cancer risk.

There are ample opportunities for professional development and leadership in our Department, such as leading clinical trials, mentoring of students, residents, and fellows, and academic clinical/translational research. Clinical cancer genetics is a fast paced and rapidly evolving field, with plenty of room for growth. It is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new and burgeoning field.
