Based at the Dartmouth Cancer Center—one of just a select group of NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country—this full-time role combines outstanding clinical care with rich opportunities for clinical research and academic teaching.

You will collaborate within a highly integrated, multidisciplinary team of surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and advanced practice providers (APPs) to provide cutting-edge, compassionate care to patients with early-stage and advanced breast malignancies across Northern New England.

Clinical Excellence: Conduct outpatient clinical evaluations, interpret diagnostic staging, and design customized systemic therapeutic regimens, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted biologic treatments for breast cancer panels.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Actively lead and participate in the Dartmouth Cancer Center Comprehensive Breast Program tumor boards to design unified, multi-modality patient care plans.

Clinical Research Involvement: Expand and leverage the institution’s robust clinical trial portfolio. Actively enroll eligible patients in early-phase or cooperative group clinical trials (Alliance, NRG, NCI) supported by our NCI-designated infrastructure.

Academic & Teaching Duties: Provide dedicated instruction and mentorship to medical students, residents, and Hematology/Oncology fellows through clinical rotations and formal lectures. Secure an academic faculty appointment with the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth at a rank commensurate with experience.

Team-Based Care: Partner effectively with a built-in support network consisting of specialized nurse navigators, dedicated clinic nurses, research coordinators, and APPs within the breast oncology service lines.

Core Competencies: Strong commitment to academic cancer care, peer-reviewed clinical research, and a collaborative, collegial approach to medicine.
