Faculty members within the Division of Surgical Oncology possess a desire to commit to all three missions of the Department and School of Medicine, including the clinical, education, and research missions. Clinical responsibilities will include participation in multidisciplinary care, tumor boards, and surgical support of oncology programs. Faculty members are committed to delivering high quality clinical care that is of value to the patients of the UNC Healthcare system. Faculty members are expected to regularly participate in the education of medical students, residents, and fellows. Regarding the research mission, a commitment to any one of a broad array of research interests is critical, including but not limited to oncology clinical trials, outcomes, health services, basic science, translational, ethics, education, or global surgery research. Overall, the selected candidate will be professional, team-oriented, and have the ability to interact well with colleagues inside and out of the Division.
