This role offers the chance to help shape an expanding cancer program while benefiting from strong subspecialty support, academic collaboration, research access, and a highly competitive compensation package. Call schedule is negotiable.

Opportunity Details

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Highlights include leadership opportunity, access to multidisciplinary tumor boards, collaboration across surgical and radiation oncology, and the ability to engage in academic and clinical research initiatives through Carle’s partnership with the University of Illinois.

• Opportunity for academic and/or research at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine in Urbana, IL which is a collaboration between Carle and the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.

• The Carle Illinois College of Medicine is the nation’s first medical school focused at the intersection of healthcare and engineering.  
• Enjoy a generous compensation package at a stable, vertically integrated health system.
• Successful candidates should have at least three years of post-fellowship experience and leadership interest.
