Hematologist/Oncologist - Hematologic Malignancies & Cellular Immunotherapy

What We Offer

Hematologist/Oncologist — Hematologic Malignancies & Cellular Immunotherapy

Novant Health Cancer Institute · Charlotte, North Carolina

Build the next chapter of a dynamic program that blends direct patient care and cutting-edge research

The Hematologic Malignancies and Cellular Immunotherapy Program at Novant Health Cancer Institute is recruiting a BC/BE hematologist/oncologist to join our physician team in Charlotte. This is a rare combination: a FACT-accredited transplant and cellular therapy program with its own outpatient CAR-T unit and on-site cell processing lab, a clinical research portfolio that publishes in the top journals in our field, and the collegiality and growth of an integrated health system rather than the bureaucracy of a large academic center.

About the Program:

Our program has served patients across North Carolina since 2018 and offers the full range of modern therapy for blood cancers:

• FACT-accredited Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Program performing allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation
• Commercial CAR-T cell therapy across approved indications in lymphoma, leukemia and myeloma, with investigational immune effector cell therapies on trial
• Dedicated outpatient Cellular Therapy and Apheresis Unit with continuously monitored patient rooms purpose-built for outpatient CAR-T delivery, located in our state-of-the-art Cancer Institute building in uptown Charlotte
• On-site Weisiger Cellular and Immunotherapy Lab, a $4 million, 2,000 sq ft facility for processing, cryopreservation and development of patient-specific immune effector cell products
• Deep clinical research portfolio spanning phase 1 through phase 3 trials in lymphoma, CLL, myeloma, leukemia and cellular therapy
• A publishing team. Our physicians have authored and co-authored work in the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Blood and Nature Medicine, lead practice-changing trials, and chair sessions at ASH and other national meetings
• Our faculty hold academic appointments through the UNC School of Medicine.

The Opportunity:

You will practice malignant hematology the way it should be practiced: focused, well supported, and connected to the science.

• Choose your focus. Concentrate on a single disease state (lymphoma, CLL, myeloma, acute leukemia, MDS, transplant or cellular therapy) or keep a broad malignant hematology practice. We will build the role around your strengths and interests.
• Practice with a real team. An experienced group of advanced practice providers, oncology clinical pharmacists, BMT-certified nurses and dedicated transplant and cellular therapy coordinators manage the day-to-day so you can focus on decisions that need a physician.
• Lead and publish. Serve as site principal investigator and work alongside colleagues who are already authoring in the leading journals and presenting at ASH, ASCO and EHA.
• Grow with the program. Novant Health Cancer Institute has expanded rapidly over the past five years, with new facilities in Charlotte and a second FACT-accredited site in Winston-Salem. Leadership roles are available for physicians who want them.
• Work among colleagues, not competitors. A collegial, physician-led culture where cases are discussed openly, call is shared fairly, and new ideas get a hearing.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Generous wRVU-based compensation with a two-year guaranteed base salary, allowing you to build your practice without financial pressure
• Relocation assistance and CME allowance
• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, retirement plan with employer contribution, paid malpractice with tail coverage, and generous paid time off
• Protected time and institutional support for clinical research
• Academic appointment available through the UNC School of Medicine
• Employed position with Novant Health Medical Group, one of the largest physician groups in the Southeast

Qualifications:

• MD or DO; board certified or board eligible in Hematology and/or Medical Oncology
• Fellowship training in hematology/oncology; additional training or experience in hematopoietic cell transplantation and cellular therapy welcomed but not required
• Eligible for medical licensure in North Carolina
• Interest in clinical research and in building a focused practice within malignant hematology
• Experienced physicians and graduating fellows are both encouraged to apply
• H1b-visa opportunities are available
• This opportunity unfortunately is not open to J1-visa applicants

The Blue Ridge Mountains and the Carolina coast are each within a few hours' drive.
