Position Description:

The McGill University Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology (GBDO) in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology of the Centre Intégré Universitaire de Santé et de Services Sociaux Ouest-de-l’île-de-Montréal (CIUSSS ODIM) Saint Mary’s Hospital, invites applications for a full-time position as a member of the Contract Academic Staff at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (Clinical) in Medical Oncology. The professorial rank will be determined according to the candidate's qualifications and experience. This is a Contract Academic Staff position and does not confer eligibility for tenure.

The McGill University Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology is a leader in academic medicine. Our educational and research missions support excellent and innovative clinical programs across our teaching hospitals. The Saint Mary’s Hospital is one of McGill’s major teaching hospitals affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at Canada’s internationally renowned McGill University, located in the vibrant and multicultural city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec.

The St. Mary’s Hospital (SMH) is a founding member of the CIUSSS ODIM. Members of the division will have a principal appointment at the St. Mary’s Hospital but are also appointed as Associate Attendings at the Lakeshore General Hospital, and LaSalle Hospital, the other major hospitals in the CIUSSS. Together, these constitute over 500 inpatient beds and provide care to approximately 650,000 people.

The Division of Medical Oncology is highly committed to the pursuit of excellence in clinical care, research, quality improvement, and medical education. Our outstanding team of sub-specialists participate in national and international clinical trials offering state-of-the-art novel therapies; some have their own research laboratories where they conduct basic and translational research in cancer and train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

Job Duties:

The successful candidate will have clinical responsibilities that include outpatient clinical practice within a hospital-based clinic, as well as inpatient and outpatient consultation in medical oncology. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to supervise oncology care on inpatient units, with activities potentially spanning across either of the main hospital sites. This role requires a strong foundation in both direct patient care and oversight in a hospital setting.

Research and scholarly activities will be an essential part of the position. The incumbent will be expected to provide documentation of expertise in clinical trials and translational research. They are expected to demonstrate a solid record of achievement in translational research, particularly in bridging the laboratory-clinical interface. The successful candidate will also develop expertise in translational research focused on areas such as assessing response to therapy, tumor biology, and the development of new drugs.

In addition to clinical and research responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to actively contribute to enhancing the academic environment of the division. This will involve encouraging scholarly activity and fostering a collaborative atmosphere between clinical and research teams. The successful candidate will also be expected to bridge various areas of clinical practice and research, ensuring integration of the two disciplines in a way that advances both clinical care and scientific discovery.

The successful candidate will also be expected to be actively involved in relevant aspects of McGill’s academic mission (e.g., research, teaching, supervision of students and residents, and involvement in academic and administrative committees).
 

McGill faculty members are expected to contribute to service activities within their units, the University, and the wider scholarly community. A demonstrated commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion is also expected.
