Head and Neck Pathologist

The Department of Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) is recruiting a full-time academic surgical pathologist with subspecialty expertise in head and neck pathology. BIDMC is a tertiary care facility with 743 licensed beds and an internationally renowned principal teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School with NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center-affiliated Cancer Center. 

The BIDMC Department of Pathology has launched new strategic initiatives in cutting-edge Precision Diagnostics (including cancer genomics, multiplex biomarker theranostics, and computational/digital pathology). In addition, the department will be engaged in the newly announced and exciting clinical collaboration between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, BIDMC, and Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP) to establish New England’s only free-standing adult inpatient cancer hospital. The collaboration would bring together world-class clinicians to deliver transformational, precision medicine in an environment solely dedicated to defying cancer. 

We are looking for an active, energetic, team-oriented faculty member to help us shape our future agenda and engage in areas that are being actively developed. 

In addition to strong diagnostic skills in surgical pathology, expertise in molecular diagnostics (including NGS and FISH) is desirable. Strong interest in further developing the crucial role of Pathology in clinical trials is a plus, including new companion diagnostics. 

Candidates with a strong clinical, translational, or laboratory-based research program are particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates with existing NIH grant funding will be supported by attractive research space and start-up funds to expand their programs. 

The successful candidate will join a team of faculty, residents, and fellows to provide world-class diagnostics at BIDMC. Additionally, the candidate will support the vibrant training programs, including pathology residency program, and surgical pathology fellowship programs. 

Applicants must be board certified in Pathology (AP or AP/CP). Board certification in Molecular Pathology is a significant plus. 

The candidate will be appointed to the full-time faculty of Harvard Medical School at an academic rank commensurate with experience.
