The Fred Hutch Immunotherapy Integrated Research Center (IIRC) seeks qualified candidates for its two-year Immunotherapy Physician Scientist Program. A successful applicant will be an MD or MD/PhD who is committed to pioneering major advances in medical practice through research. Applicants should be interested in an aspect of immuno-oncology relevant to the IIRC, as well as the development of therapies that modulate the immune system. Immunotherapy Physician Scientists will advance their academic careers by performing immuno-oncology research with access to state-of-the-art facilities and working with expert faculty mentors who are members in the Immunotherapy Integrated Research Center.

The IIRC will support the incumbent’s salary and lab expenses for two years of translational research training. However, the Physician Scientist is strongly encouraged to work with their mentor to apply for outside funding during their first year.
External candidates are encouraged to identify a mentor and potential research projects prior to arriving at Fred Hutch. The Physician Scientist will develop a research project under the guidance of the mentor. Projects may be predominantly clinical, correlative or laboratory-based, but must be focused on the development and/or improvement of cancer immunotherapy. Candidates may identify projects that require guidance from more than one mentor, as long as one mentor is a Physician Scientist faculty member of the IIRC.
The Physician Scientist will participate in outpatient (immunotherapy clinic) and/or inpatient (transplantation) service at Fred Hutch Cancer Center under the supervision of an attending physician either under observation status through the Medical Director’s Office or under their WA state medical license. Candidates need to meet minimum requirements for clinical activity, which will likely happen in Year 2. Typically, clinical activity is 2-4 months, based on the candidate’s license status and goals, and the need of the service.
Fred Hutch is a world leader in immunotherapy. An exceptionally strong history of research in immunotherapy (FH immunotherapy) and bone marrow transplantation (FH transplantation) informs and guides progress towards the development of the next generation of curative treatments. Available resources include outstanding staff, facilities and the infrastructure necessary to support translational immunotherapy research:
