Faculty Position-Department of Pathology, Computational Pathologist

The Department of Pathology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital seeks a faculty member with expertise in computational pathology at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Member, commensurate with experience.

About the role

The Department has made substantial investment in computational pathology infrastructure within the Division of Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology, reflecting a strategic commitment to extend that capacity across the clinical pathology and laboratory medicine enterprise. The successful candidate will bring deep clinical expertise in one or more clinical pathology subspecialties, along with a demonstrated record of applying computational, AI, and machine learning (ML) approaches to diagnostic and operational problems in the clinical laboratory, or a clearly articulated trajectory toward such work.

Responsibilities

• Translate clinical and operational problems into analytically tractable applications
• Contribute to data governance and sustainable deployment of AI tools within clinical systems
• Build a program of scholarship appropriate to rank

Requirements

• MD or DO Degree Required
• Candidates must hold board certification in Clinical Pathology, or in both Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, and must be board-certified or board-eligible in subspecialties appropriate to the proposed scope of clinical service.
• Candidates must demonstrate expertise in computational pathology, AI/ML, or a closely related field, with preference for those who have contributed to the development or clinical validation of computational tools in a laboratory medicine or translational setting.
• An unrestricted medical license to practice in the State of Tennessee, or eligibility for such licensure at the time of hire, is required.

Qualifications

• Strong subject matter expertise is considered prerequisite to meaningful implementation of AI-enabled solutions in this domain, and candidates will be evaluated accordingly.
• Professional effort will be distributed approximately as follows: clinical service not to exceed 50%, approximately 25% for protected independent academic effort devoted to scholarship, research, and mentorship, and approximately 25% directed towards computational pathology development, validation, and implementation.

Skills

• Deep clinical expertise in one or more clinical pathology subspecialties
• Demonstrated record of applying computational, AI, and machine learning (ML) approaches to diagnostic and operational problems in the clinical laboratory
• Computational focus may be on diagnostics, prognostication, image analysis, multidisciplinary data synthesis, laboratory utilization management, and/or quality analytics, among other areas.
