The final candidates are expected to become leaders in the design, conduct, and analysis of early phase clinical trials aimed to improve the care of cancer patients in the context of a well-established clinical research program. Clinical patient care is required and will include supervision of medical students, residents, and fellows in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The chosen physicians will join a strong clinical and translational academic program within the NCI-designated UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, which includes phase I-III clinical trials, investigator-initiated studies, as well as ongoing interactions with other cancer specialists.

In addition, the candidate must have completed at least one year of clinical experience managing both allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients either beyond hematology and/or medical oncology fellowship training or in some cases within the context of fellowship, if the program or the candidate had a particularly strong focus on transplantation.
