The Department of Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) is recruiting a full-time Clinical Cytogeneticist. Applicants must hold an MD, MD/PhD, or PhD degree and be board-certified or eligible in Clinical Cytogenetics/Laboratory Genetics and Genomics.  Mid-career/senior clinical cytogenetics directors are strongly encouraged to apply.  The candidate will be appointed to the full-time faculty of Harvard Medical School at the appropriate academic rank (Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor), commensurate with experience.

As a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, BIDMC and the Department of Pathology provide a clinically advanced and supportive academic environment for residents, fellows, and faculty. We’re also proud and excited to be an integral part of the landmark collaboration among Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP) to establish New England’s only freestanding adult inpatient cancer hospital. The collaboration will provide unparalleled opportunities for Cytogenetics and other Pathology subspecialties to be part of DFCI’s internationally recognized cancer team.

The ideal candidate will be part of a growing, comprehensive clinical cytogenetics laboratory, performing chromosome analysis, FISH, and chromosomal microarray testing on neoplastic and constitutional specimens. Ongoing assay development, validation, and introduction of new cytogenetic technologies, consistent with regulatory and accreditation requirements, will be a key component of this role.

 In addition to clinical and administrative responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to be active in pathology resident and fellow training as well as to develop a strong program in translational, applied, or basic research.
