This includes guiding decisions about how EHR-derived data sets are developed and used, and driving research from concept to data interpretation to publication. MedSci provides oversight for research infrastructure, and is an incubator for new research and quality improvement applications and business opportunities. You will help us push the envelope at the interface of technology and medicine. In addition, you'll also:

Who You Are

You're a medical oncologist with 2 or more years of experience after completion of subspecialty training (although we are open to considering other levels of experience). You're excited by the prospect of rolling up your sleeves to tackle meaningful problems each and every day. You’re a kind, passionate and collaborative problem-solver who seeks and gives candid feedback, and values the chance to make an important impact. 

• You have a medical degree, residency, and oncology subspecialty training 
• You have demonstrated expertise in one or more oncology-relevant methodological areas (e.g., outcomes research, real world evidence, patient-reported outcomes, health services research, quality improvement science, clinical trials, etc.)
• You are excited about working in a passionate, fast-paced, technology-driven culture
• You can easily explain scientific terms to a non-medical, highly sophisticated audience; superior communication skills
