Molecular Pathologist

Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians

3d • $290,000 - $336,000

About The Position

The Department of Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) is recruiting a full-time academic Molecular Pathologist at an open rank (junior, mid-career, or senior), with a commensurate faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School. The role is based in an academically supportive tertiary-care and teaching hospital environment and will contribute to the department’s developing initiatives in precision diagnostics, including cancer genomics, multiplex biomarker theranostics, and computational and digital pathology. The position is part of a broader collaboration involving Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, BIDMC, and Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians to establish a freestanding adult inpatient cancer hospital.

The successful candidate will join faculty, residents, and fellows to provide diagnostic services and support pathology residency and fellowship training. The role calls for strong diagnostic expertise in developing and signing out molecular diagnostic testing, including genomic and transcriptomic next-generation sequencing, methylation testing, liquid biopsy testing, and long-read sequencing. Additional subspecialty expertise or interest in an area of Anatomic Pathology or Clinical Pathology is desirable. Interest in developing post-genomic precision diagnostics, such as artificial intelligence pathology, multiomic diagnostics, cancer proteomics, or metabolomics, and in advancing pathology’s role in clinical trials and companion diagnostics is also desirable.

Candidates with strong clinical, translational, or laboratory-based research programs are particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates with existing NIH grant funding will be supported with research space and start-up funds to expand their programs. The appointment is full-time faculty at Harvard Medical School, at an academic rank commensurate with experience.
