PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGIST-HEMATOLOGIST WITH INTEREST IN PEDIATRIC NEURO-ONCOLOGY

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.

The Department of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, CancerCare Manitoba consists of eight faculty members with active clinical and research programs in pediatric oncology, neuro-oncology, blood and marrow transplant, hematology, hemostasis and thrombosis. It is the sole Pediatric Oncology-Hematology Program seeing patients from across the Province of Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario and parts of Nunavut. Our program is an active contributor to Children' s Oncology Group and other collaborative clinical group trials, has a blood and marrow transplant program with FACT accreditation, a Royal College accredited subspecialty training program in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology and is well supported by all pediatric subspecialties including experienced pediatric neurosurgeons, pediatric radiologists, and pediatric neuropathologists.

Qualifications: Candidates must be eligible for registration and independent medical practice with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba as a subspecialist Pediatric Hematologist-Oncologist. Certification (or eligibility, or SEAP examination equivalency) from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in Pediatric Hematology Oncology is required. Additional training and experience in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology is required. The successful candidate will be expected to provide high quality in-patient and out-patient care to a variety of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology patients as part of a multidisciplinary team at the Winnipeg Children' s Hospital, Health Science Centre and CancerCare Manitoba. Distribution of clinical care, research, teaching, and administration is flexible, but it is expected the clinical component will be around 0.7 FTE. There will be opportunities for collabo ration with basic science and clinical researchers at the Children's Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba and the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute at Cancer Care Manitoba, a joint institute of CancerCare Manitoba and the University of Manitoba.

Income and rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications and be according to the CCMB remuneration agreement. Competitive remuneration and excellent benefits package are offered. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
