Pediatric Hematologist/Oncologist

The Department of Pediatric Oncology-Hematology-BMT at CancerCare Manitoba and the Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba, invite applications for the position of Full Time Pediatric Hematologist-Oncologist.

This position includes an appointment with the University of Manitoba as a Geographical Full-Time academic physician, with rank of Assistant, Associate or full Professor based upon qualifications.

While clinical skills in all areas of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology are required (including Pediatric Oncology, Hematology, and BMT), the successful candidate should have an area of specific training and interest in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology and would join another physician in our group with Pediatric Neuro-Oncology focus.

The position includes clinical care for all infants, children, and adolescents with pediatric brain tumours, including participation in Brain Tumour Rounds, managing Neuro-Oncology patients on targeted therapies, and continuing the development of the Pediatric Neuro-Oncology program at CancerCare Manitoba and the Winnipeg Children’s Hospital.

The position would include opportunities for being a site principal investigator for multi-institution trials (both clinical/non-clinical trials) and future development of investigator-initiated trials.

Although the focus will be on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology, all attending physicians in our group still participate in general Pediatric Hematology and Oncology service, leaving opportunities to continue to manage the spectrum of disorders within the specialty.

Coverage of Blood and Marrow Transplant patients occurs only on the weekends with appropriate subspecialist back up as required.

Clinical service and on-call responsibilities are proportionately shared amongst all attending physician members of the Department of Pediatric Oncology-Hematology-BMT.
