Position Summary - IU Health Medical Group and the Indiana University School of Medicine are seeking amid-career or established academic medical oncologist to join the Genitourinary (GU) Oncology Program. This is a tenure track position faculty position within the Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology, at the Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine. This position is designed for a physician-scientist with focused expertise in GU malignancies and a strong commitment to translational, laboratory-based, and preclinical research. The successful candidate will join an established and highly active GU oncology program with a robust clinical trials portfolio and will help advance laboratory-driven discoveries that inform novel therapeutic strategies, biomarker development, correlative science, and investigator-initiated clinical trials. The ideal candidate will have an independent laboratory program focused on GU cancer biology, drug development, biomarkers, mechanisms of resistance, tumor microenvironment, immuno-oncology, radiopharmaceuticals, antibody-drug conjugates, targeted therapies, or other areas of translational relevance to GU malignancies. This role will include a disease-site-focused clinical practice in GU oncology, with at least 50% effort dedicated to translational research, laboratory investigation, and collaboration with clinical trial teams. The candidate will be supported with protected research time, a competitive startup package, laboratory space, access to NCI-designated cancer center resources, and robust clinical trial infrastructure.
