About The Position
The Department of Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is seeking a highly motivated academic cardiologist for a faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Attending level within the Cardiology Service. This role is focused on the cardiovascular care of patients with cancer, including the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease throughout the cancer continuum. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary cardio-oncology program dedicated to optimizing cardiovascular health before, during, and after cancer treatment. The Cardiology Service provides specialized expertise in cardio-oncology and consultative cardiovascular medicine, with an emphasis on the evaluation and management of cardiovascular complications related to cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and radiation. The Service also provides comprehensive care for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, thromboembolic disorders, and other cardiovascular conditions that impact cancer care. Faculty participate in inpatient consultation services, ambulatory clinics, advanced cardiac imaging, and multidisciplinary treatment planning across Memorial Sloan Kettering's main campus and Regional Care Network. The Cardiology Service is comprised of 13 cardiologists, 11 advanced practice providers, specialized nursing and technical staff, and an established Cardio-Oncology Fellowship that attracts trainees from across the United States and internationally. The Service is supported by state-of-the-art echocardiography, stress testing, electrocardiography, rhythm monitoring, and cardiac device management programs, while maintaining strong collaborative relationships with leading cardiovascular institutions throughout the New York metropolitan area. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of MSK's nationally recognized cardio-oncology program through innovative clinical care, education, and research. The position offers robust opportunities to develop collaborative clinical and translational research initiatives across the Department of Medicine and with partners in Medical Oncology, Hematologic Malignancies, Radiation Oncology, Surgery, Critical Care Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, Nephrology, Neurology, Radiology, Pathology, and supportive care services.
