This full-time role invites candidates with a strong passion for diagnosing and treating hematologic malignancies and an interest in pioneering early phase clinical trials. As a vital member of our center, you will engage in both inpatient and outpatient clinical care, provide valuable teaching, and participate in cutting-edge clinical and translational research.
The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD) at Phoenix Children's averages 400 new oncology patients annually, with over 140 diagnosed with hematologic malignancies. We also conduct innovative research in solid tumors, neuro-oncology, hematology, BMT/Cell Therapy, palliative medicine, and survivorship.

You should foster mentoring relationships with learners and thrive in a dynamic program development context. Candidates must be board eligible/certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, subspecialty Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Your academic rank and salary will correlate with your experience.
The CCBD sees around 400 new oncology patients each year and maintains active clinical and laboratory research programs in areas such as oncology, neuro-oncology, survivorship, hemophilia, and investigational drug development. Our fellowship program in pediatric hematology/oncology is approved for three fellows each year and has valuable affiliations with the Mayo Clinic, the Arizona Cancer Center, and the University of Arizona. The BMT program features a one-year subspecialty fellowship in bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy.
Situated in a freestanding designated wing with 16 HEPA-filtered, positive pressure rooms for immune-deficient patients, Phoenix Children's is the leading comprehensive tertiary and quaternary care center in Arizona. As a primary teaching facility for the University of Arizona, Mayo Clinic Arizona, and Creighton University, we emphasize excellent residency and fellowship programs across many specialties.
