About The Position

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is seeking board-certified pathologists to participate in clinical services in breast pathology, gynecological pathology, neuropathology, or hematopathology. The positions combine clinical service, teaching, and collaborative research in a supportive, collegial environment. Fellowship training is highly desired for most specialties and required for neuropathology and hematopathology roles. Teaching includes participation in unknown slide conference and monthly morgue conference, as well as didactic lectures and supervision of residents’ presentations, including journal club, gross conference, and grand rounds. Translational research and medical student teaching activities can be tailored to individual preferences and department needs. Institutional resources include core laboratories and biorepositories. Breast pathology duties include clinical service, with the opportunity to support other subspecialties if desired. Gynecological pathology duties include sign-out, participation in gynecologic tumor board, shared AP night and weekend call, and non-forensic autopsy coverage, averaging fewer than four autopsies per pathologist per year. Neuropathology duties include neuropathology and muscle biopsy sign-out, weekday frozen-call coverage, brain cutting, participation in the hospital autopsy service, and AP short-call and long-weekend call. Hematopathology duties include rotating sign-out of bone marrow, tissue, blood, and CSF; shared hematopathology call; and individual and group sign-out with fellows, residents, medical students, and visiting observers. The posting lists a salary range of $224,000–$336,500. It also describes a competitive base salary range of $250,001–$301,390, commensurate with experience and academic rank, with an initial sign-on bonus and a significant quarterly incentive component once eligible.
