The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) is recruiting a full-time faculty member at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level to join Fred Hutch’s Cancer Survivorship Program and help grow its research portfolio. The overall mission of the interdisciplinary Survivorship Program is to enhance the care of cancer survivors by 1) rigorous research with national and international impact, 2) provision of outstanding clinical care, and 3) education and outreach. Survivorship focuses on the health and well-being of a person with cancer from the time of diagnosis until the end of life. This includes the physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial effects of cancer that begin at diagnosis and continue through treatment and beyond.
Candidates with PhD, MD/DO, or equivalent are encouraged to apply – this includes but is not limited to those with training in medical oncology or psychology and biobehavioral sciences. The position is on the faculty/physician scientist (i.e., primarily research) pathway. However, candidates who wish to maintain a clinical practice (i.e., 20-30% time) are encouraged to apply and can be integrated into Fred Hutch’s Survivorship, Oncology, or Supportive Care clinics at Fred Hutch based on the best fit.
Research areas of interest include but are not limited to: lifestyle or other interventions to mitigate late (medical or psychosocial) effects, biobehavioral research, health services, dissemination and implementation science. We seek candidates with a research interest in adult cancer survivorship (young adults to geriatrics). Of note, this recruitment is not targeting candidates who focus primarily on survivors of childhood or adolescent cancers as those areas are well represented in our current faculty, nor candidates who are primarily focused on bench based laboratory research. The successful candidate will develop/continue an independent research program within our collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, which includes access to extensive cutting-edge Shared Resources.
Fred Hutch is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington.
With a track record of global leadership in cancer, bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy, and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading cancer and infectious disease-focused biomedical research centers with a strong portfolio in both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures to the world’s deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer a reality.
At Fred Hutch we value collaboration, compassion, determination, excellence, innovation, integrity, and respect. Our mission is directly tied to the humanity, dignity and inherent value of each employee, patient, community member and supporter. Our commitment to learning across our differences and similarities makes us stronger. We seek employees who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems.
Faculty will join a supportive and highly collaborative environment that is committed to ensuring the development and success of strong research and mentoring programs. Fred Hutch, together with the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital, is an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center with active training programs for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Fred Hutch is a modern campus located next to Lake Union in Seattle, Washington, and is close to other non-profit research institutes and the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital.
For consideration, applicants must have a PhD, MD/DO or foreign equivalent.
Although applicants are not required to have a clinical practice, applicants who wish to maintain such a practice must have an MD/DO degree (or foreign equivalent) and board certification in a relevant clinical discipline, or a licensed clinical PhD degree. A University of Washington appointment and Washington state medical license will be required prior to any clinical practice.
The ideal candidate will have a record of and primary interest in adult cancer survivorship, as demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications, grants and/or clinical trial experience.
Interested candidates should submit the following:
1) Letter of interest addressed to the Co-Chairs of Survivorship Search Advisory Committee, Drs. Scott Baker and Eric Chow
2) Curriculum vitae
3) Concise research statement describing accomplishments and future goals (maximum 2 pages)
4) 1 page Mentorship and Training statement addressing the following prompt: What is your mentorship philosophy and approach, and what has informed them? Please describe specific actions you have taken or plan to take to create a collaborative and effective training and mentorship environment in which all trainees and staff can thrive
5) Three confidential letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation are requested at the time of application for candidates at the Assistant Professor rank and will be requested later in the search process for applicants at the Associate Professor or Professor ranks.
Applications received by July 1, 2026 will be guaranteed consideration. Applications received after that date may be considered on a rolling basis as long as the position remains open.
