The Department of Orthopaedics at the University of Rochester seeks a clinician scientist with fellowship training in musculoskeletal oncology and a commitment to a career in orthopaedic oncology and orthopaedic research. The successful candidate will be ABOS board eligible or board certified. This full-time position will provide substantial protected research time and start-up funds, commensurate with the candidate's research achievements and potential.

The CMSR also prides itself on the breadth of musculoskeletal research, which aims to include all areas of orthopaedics. The CMSR seeks an orthopaedic oncology surgeon to contribute to its cancer research programs in sarcoma, tumor metastasis to bone, cancer-associated sarcopenia, and the bone-tumor microenvironment.
