Join Duke Division of Hematologic Malignancies and Cellular Therapy

The Division of Hematologic Malignancies & Cellular Therapy at Duke Health is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible Hematologist/Oncologist with expertise in Cellular Therapy and CAR-T to join our nationally recognized blood cancer program.

We are particularly interested in physicians with several years of experience beyond fellowship who have established clinical expertise in hematologic malignancies and a strong interest in advancing cellular therapy programs. This opportunity offers the ability to contribute to an innovative program focused on CAR-T therapy, bispecific antibodies, clinical trials, and the multidisciplinary care of patients with complex blood cancers.

Clinical Practice and Location

The physician's primary clinical practice will be based at Duke Cancer Center Raleigh, a comprehensive, community-based cancer center serving patients throughout Raleigh, Cary, Wake County, and the surrounding region. The center provides coordinated hematology and oncology care, outpatient infusion services, advanced cancer treatments, clinical trial access, pharmacy services, and multidisciplinary support in one convenient location.

The primary patient population will include adults with hematologic malignancies who require longitudinal subspecialty care, including patients with lymphoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia, and other blood cancers. The physician will evaluate and manage patients who may benefit from CAR-T therapy, bispecific antibodies, cellular immunotherapy, or other advanced treatment approaches. Responsibilities may include treatment consultation, patient selection, pre-treatment evaluation, longitudinal disease management, management of therapy-related complications, and post-cellular therapy follow-up.

This role will help expand access to advanced hematologic malignancy care for patients in Wake County while maintaining close integration with the Duke Blood Cancer Center and cellular therapy program at Duke University Medical Center in Durham. Patients requiring specialized cellular therapy procedures, complex inpatient care, transplantation, or other tertiary-level services will have seamless access to Duke's main academic campus.

The faculty member may participate in clinical care, research, teaching, multidisciplinary conferences, and other academic activities at Duke University Medical Center as programmatic and patient-care needs warrant.

Academic and Programmatic Opportunities

The position supports Duke's academic mission through participation in clinical trials, scholarly activity, program development, quality initiatives, and the education of medical students, residents, hematology/oncology fellows, and advanced practice providers.

The successful candidate will collaborate closely with faculty and multidisciplinary teams across cellular therapy, transplantation, lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, pharmacy, research, nursing, and advanced practice. The physician will also help strengthen referral relationships with community oncologists and regional healthcare partners while supporting the continued growth of Duke's hematologic malignancy and cellular therapy presence across Wake County.
