    Overview

     

    The Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC), Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth Health are seeking to jointly recruit junior faculty dedicated to pursuing careers in cancer research. Physician-scientists and clinician-investigators/clinical trialists from all clinical specialties who are pursuing basic, translational, or clinical cancer research with a strong engineering, technology, and/or computational component are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants will be appointed as Assistant or Associate Professors in the appropriate department at Dartmouth and become full DCC members. Protected time for research and generous start-up packages will be provided.

     

    Members of DCC’s Translational Engineering in Cancer (TEC) research program work to accelerate the development and translation of practice-changing imaging and engineering technologies for the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and therapeutic monitoring of cancers. Current TEC investigators conduct research aligned with one of three primary program themes: 1) Surgical Image Guidance; 2) Radiation Monitoring and Treatment; 3) Cellular/Molecular Sensing and Contrast. TEC members benefit from Dartmouth’s highly entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as deep integration and synergy between Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering, Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth Health. Recent TEC program accomplishments include the launch of DoseOptics and CairnSurgical, and a large DOD grant supporting advancement of fluorescence-guided cancer surgery.

     

    As one of only 57 NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers and the only one north of Boston and east of Buffalo, DCC benefits from deep integration across the entirety of both Dartmouth and Dartmouth Health. With the successful renewal of its NCI designation in 2024, DCC is now poised to enter its second half-century of continuous NCI designation. In addition to a robust clinical trials enterprise, DCC hosts four vibrant NCI-funded Research Programs: Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy (ICI), Cancer Signaling, Genomes and Networks (SGN), Translational Engineering in Cancer (TEC) and Cancer Population Sciences (CPS).

     

    Reporting to their appropriate Section Chief and Department Chair, successful applicants will be board-eligible or board-certified in their cancer-related clinical specialty and eligible for medical licensure in both New Hampshire and Vermont. Dartmouth Health offers an outstanding benefits package including, but not limited to: paid vacation, holiday and sick days, competitive CME allowance and dedicated CME time, medical/dental/vision coverage, employer-funded retirement plan, and a generous relocation bonus.

     

    At DCC, we believe that the diversity of our patients, people, and community shows a strength we support and celebrate. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone to thrive, honoring all within our organization and the communities we serve. Our belief is simple and actionable: Dartmouth Health is better when we embrace each other with open hearts and minds, confront our biases, and take a stand for equity and inclusion.
