Position Description
The Director must be an accomplished, collaborative, and visionary clinical leader with the experience and skills to lead our clinical and academic surgical oncology programs into a new era and provide a strategic vision and leadership for growth and expansion of clinical and academic missions of our program. The Director will identify and promote inherent synergies to advance interdisciplinary collaborations to further align and support shared goals and initiatives across WashU Medicine, Siteman Cancer Center, and affiliate BJC hospitals. Importantly, this leader must have a deep understanding of how to leverage clinical excellence with health services, translational, and bench science to foster programmatic success across all academic missions.
The Director leads a team of 12 distinguished surgeons, two PhDs, two fellows, eight APPs, and 31 dedicated staff who partner with multidisciplinary teams at the Alvin J. Siteman NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Barnes-Jewish-Christian (BJC) medical system to provide leading edge, multidisciplinary, and patient-centered cancer care for over 12,000 new cancer patients annually and is the only NCI designated cancer center in a 250mile radius. The Department of Surgery at WashU Medicine has a distinguished record of achievement and offers destination clinical programs for patients seeking leading-edge care for complex GI, HPB, soft tissue, cutaneous, and breast malignancies and ranks #2 nationally in NIH funding and #10 for Surgery by US News & World Reports.
Key competencies required of the Director include a clear ability to foster, support and drive programmatic expansion in a complex academic environment, ensuring that the academic and clinical activities of WashU Medicine, Siteman and BJC continue to bring value to its many internal and external partners. The Director will have a passion for promoting a collaborative service culture that further elevates the group as a nationally recognized leader for superb, patient-centered care, clinical outcomes, and innovative research discoveries.
Basic Qualifications
Qualified candidates will hold an MD, MD/PhD or equivalent. Candidates must be eligible for a faculty appointment at the Associate Professor or Professor level in the Washington University School of Medicine.
This individual will have demonstrated a leadership style that is focused on the success of the faculty in all clinical, research, and educational endeavors. The successful candidate will have a distinguished record of mentorship and scholarship, possess a deep understanding of the role of culture in organizational success, and a willingness to be both strategic and tactical in achieving institutional objectives. The next leader must be enthusiastic about seeking consensus, but not afraid to make complex decisions or lead change. She or he will be seen as a champion for inclusive excellence in all areas of the institution. Critical to success, the new leader must be an expert at building positive collegial connections with internal and external partners. A highly collaborative style is essential in developing and maintaining physician relations that build on their key roles as both partners in patient care.
