The Department of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated physician with training in Pulmonary Medicine for an academic clinician faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Attending rank. This role is focused on onco-pulmonology and the clinical care of patients with cancer who develop pulmonary complications related to malignancy, cancer therapy, immune-based treatments, transplantation, infection, and underlying chronic lung disease.

About the Role

The Pulmonary Service provides specialized expertise in Pulmo-Oncology and General Pulmonary Medicine, with an emphasis on:

• Longitudinal, multidisciplinary oncologic care
• Management of immunocompromised hosts
• Evaluation and treatment of drug-induced and radiation-induced pneumonitis
• Pulmonary complications of cellular therapy and stem cell transplantation
• Peri-operative pulmonary risk assessment
• Chronic lung diseases including COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary nodules, and chronic cough

Pulmonary hosts two fellowships: one in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine and the other in Interventional Pulmonology, and collaborates with an integrated Pulmonary APP inpatient team. The Pulmonary research portfolio continues to expand in breadth, with active publications, new prospective clinical trials, and external funding.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help grow MSK’s multidisciplinary immune-related adverse event (IRAE) program, with a particular focus on pulmonary toxicities from immune checkpoint inhibitors and other novel cancer therapies. The position includes robust clinical and research opportunities to build collaborative programs across the Department of Medicine, including partnerships with solid tumor oncology, hematologic malignancies, subspecialty medicine, radiology, pathology, infectious diseases, rheumatology, dermatology, cardiology, critical care, and supportive care.

We are particularly interested in candidates who wish to expand clinical research and clinical trials focused on pulmonary toxicities, IRAEs, and multidisciplinary models of care for patients receiving advanced oncologic therapies.

The largest of MSK’s clinical departments, the Department of Medicine (DoM) encompasses experts in solid tumor oncology, hematologic malignancies, subspecialty medicine, and supportive and acute care services. Offering a range of services both in multiple sites in New York City and at suburban outpatient locations in the Regional Care Network (RCN), DoM physicians oversee the care of the whole patient. The RCN serves the areas surrounding Manhattan and extends from Southern New Jersey to Eastern Long Island, bringing the same high level of expertise, clinical care, and access to clinical trial protocols available at the main campus in New York City.

Requirements

• Board Eligible/Board Certified in Pulmonary Medicine
• Strong interest in the multidisciplinary management of patients with cancer, including immunocompromised patients and those with pulmonary complications of oncologic therapies
• Demonstrated excellence in clinical care and a commitment to academic medicine
• Ability to work in a cohesive, dynamic team environment

Experience or interest in clinical research, clinical trials, program development, and collaborative investigation in pulmonary toxicities and IRAEs is highly desirable.
