Tufts Medical Center seeks an experienced Thoracic Oncologist to join its academic cancer program in Boston .

The incoming physician will work alongside experts in thoracic surgery, radiation oncology, pulmonary medicine, pathology, and other disciplines to advance coordinated, patient-centered care.

The role can be structured around thoracic malignancies and translational or Phase II and III research, or around Phase I investigation with a thoracic disease focus. Qualified candidates may receive dedicated research time based on their experience and academic interests. 

Opportunity Highlights

• Join a collaborative academic environment committed to excellent, highly personalized patient care
• Help grow a thoracic oncology program supported by a pulmonary nodule clinic and computed tomography-based lung cancer screening program
• Care for patients with a broad range of non-esophageal thoracic malignancies

• Practice primarily at Tufts Medical Center’s main campus in Boston, with opportunities to build connections across the regional system 

Practice Structure

• The outpatient practice includes 5 half-day clinic sessions each week. Fellows participate in most clinics, creating an academically engaging model that supports point-of-care teaching and team-based care.
