Search for the Division Chief of Hematology and Oncology
Medical College of Wisconsin, School of Medicine
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, invites applications and nominations for the next Division Chief of Hematology and Oncology (Heme/Onc) in the Department of Medicine. Composed of a talented group of faculty, advanced practice providers (APP), research and administrative staff, the Division strives to provide excellent care for all aspects of medical oncology, including treatment of solid tumors, hematologic cancers, and non-cancerous blood diseases, including bleeding and clotting disorders. It has a large blood and marrow transplantation and cellular therapies program. The successful candidate will build on the strong foundation of clinical care, provider education and research that has helped to position MCW as a national leader in cancer and blood disorder treatment.

MCW is a large, private, health sciences university that has a long-standing reputation for providing outstanding medical and graduate education, cutting-edge biomedical research, innovative and compassionate patient care, and for improving the health of the communities it serves. With campuses in Milwaukee, Green Bay and Central Wisconsin, MCW plays a substantial role in transformational learning across Wisconsin. MCW employs one of the largest academic physician practices in the United States and collaborates with several hospital systems (including Children’s Wisconsin (CW), Froedtert Health, and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center) to provide a rich experience for its students and trainees. In recent years, MCW has constructed several major new facilities on the stunning, park-like 240-acre Milwaukee Regional Medical Center campus and forged strong partnerships with a growing network of nationally renowned hospitals, clinics, research centers, and community institutions.

Heme/Onc is the largest division within the Department of Medicine (DOM). Division faculty practice primarily at the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin (F&MCW) Clinical Cancer Center, and at the Zablocki VA Medical Center. With more than350 hematopoietic stem cell transplants a year and a robust CAR T-cell therapy program, a recently created Phase I cancer therapy program with dedicated clinical space, a robust non-malignant hematology program, and a one hundred bed state-of-the-art inpatient service, the division offers some of the most advanced treatments and clinical trials to patients across the state and beyond. The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR®) is housed within the division and faculty are tightly connected to the Versiti Blood Research Institute, which is one of only three private research institutions in the country focusing solely on blood and blood-related disorders. It also houses the coordinating center for the National Institutes of Health-funded Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN). MCW is also a Lead Academic Participating Site (LAPS) in the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) National Clinical Trial Network (NCTN). MCW leads one of the first American Society of Hematology-sponsored Sickle Cell Disease Clinical Trials Network sites in collaboration with CW, Froedtert Health and Versiti and faculty members hold key roles in the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute’s Cure Sickle Cell Initiative. Division faculty have grown more than threefold in the past ten years, and both inpatient and ambulatory facilities have grown significantly during the same time period.

The Division Chief will work closely with the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center (MCWCC), the only academic cancer research center in the state that is accessible to large, unique, and chronically underserved minority populations. The strong history of growth and success in cancer care, clinical research, and community engagement has provided a strong foundation for MCWCC’s work toward obtaining National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation. MCWCC is comprised of more than 345 cancer researchers and physicians from more than 34 departments at MCW and its partner organizations. The infrastructure is state of the art and expanding. In early 2019, MCW received a financial commitment from the State of Wisconsin to help fund construction of a new state-of-the-art $100 million cancer research center building that will drive new scientific discoveries, attract highly talented cancer researchers, and lessen the burden of cancer on Wisconsin residents. The building is expected to open in 2024.

Reporting to the Chair of the DOM, Dr. Roy Silverstein, the next Division Chief will build on the momentum that the Division has developed over recent years, continue to foster a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and have an appreciation for the interconnectivity of basic and clinical research. This role presents an opportunity to nurture cross-functional collaborations and relationships, and the next Chief will enthusiastically develop and nurture strategic partnerships outside of the Division, while sustaining the existing foundations with the Cancer Center and Froedtert Hospital. The successful candidate will oversee the teaching, research, and clinical activities in a matrixed environment and will provide strong and impactful leadership. The Chief will exemplify and encourage a culture of mentorship and professional development, and recruit with an eye towards excellence. An MD or MD/PhD is required along with board certification in hematology and/or medical oncology. The successful candidate will have a record commensurate with appointment at the rank of associate or full professor.

Please direct inquiries, nominations, and applications to Isaacson, Miller, the national executive search firm assisting with the search. All replies will be held in strict confidence. Correspondence and applications, which should include a CV and letter of interest, should be submitted electronically to Jamie Sands, Joanna Cook and Samuel Ruth at https://www.imsearch.com/search-detail/S8-330

As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, MCW recognizes the power of a diverse community and encourages applications from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.
