The Department of Urology at Tulane University School of Medicine is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible urologic oncologist to join our full-time faculty. Our department operates as a tertiary care practice located in downtown New Orleans and adjacent Metairie. The purpose of this recruitment is to expand our urologic oncology practice, facilitate clinical trials in urologic oncology, support the educational needs of our residents, and maintain competitiveness in the New Orleans market for the management of urologic oncology patients. The faculty member will have an appointment as an Assistant or Associate Professor at Tulane University School of Medicine. The position involves clinical practice at University Medical Center (Downtown New Orleans) and East Jefferson Hospital (in the nearby suburb of Metairie). The candidate is expected to have expertise in urologic oncology and the ability to perform complex open and minimally invasive (i.e., robotic) surgical procedures for patients diagnosed with genitourinary malignancy. The ideal candidate is expected to be a clinician-scholar who participates in clinical and translational research. Additionally, there is an opportunity for basic science research collaboration with laboratories housed within Tulane's Urology Department. Selected candidates will be part of an expanding medical practice that includes LCMC's flagship hospital, East Jefferson General Hospital, and the state-owned University Medical Center, with possible additional opportunities at the New Orleans VA Medical Center. This is a unique opportunity to establish a clinical practice while contributing to the training of urology residents and fellows, educating medical students, and participating in research and scholarly activities.
