Join our rapidly expanding, nationally recognized cancer institute as we seek to hire a Chair of the Department of Pediatrics. Seeking research and mission minded physicians, as every discovery we make and every new treatment we create, gives people the chance to live longer, better, and more fully.

City of Hope prides itself on our research capabilities, and the department is seeking a premier clinician who is research-oriented with experience in mentorship and development of academic careers.  This is an excellent opportunity for a physician with a collaborative management style, who is interested in leading a diverse clinical and academic department focused on providing the highest quality services to patients.

Pediatrics is one of City of Hope’s key philanthropic drivers and maintains a substantial academic portfolio of over $12 million.

The ideal candidate will be a boarded pediatric hematology/oncology physician with strong leadership qualities and experience in managing an academic and clinical department. We are seeking an individual who can drive research and clinical program development, quality, financial, budgetary, compliance, and regulatory efficiencies throughout the department.  S/he should also have a working understanding of EHR systems (EPIC preferred), revenue cycle, program development, and financial management.
