Appointment type: Tenure Track Faculty
Department: IUSM - Medicine - Hematology/Oncology
Campus: IU School of Medicine Indianapolis
Position summary:
Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) in conjunction with the Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSSCC) is seeking a collaborative and innovative physician-scientist to Direct the Vera Bradley Foundation Center for Breast Cancer Research (https://medicine.iu.edu/research-centers/breast-cancer). The breast cancer research center at IU School of Medicine is named in recognition of the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer. Vera Bradley, a company based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is a leading designer of women’s handbags and accessories. The company’s co-founders, Barbara Baekgaard and Patricia Miller, began raising money for breast cancer research in 1993, shortly after the death of a friend and colleague. The Vera Bradley Foundation has since committed $37.5 million to IU School of Medicine to advance breast cancer research and treatment in Indiana and around the world.
The Vera Bradley Foundation Center for Breast Cancer Research at Indiana University School of Medicine (VBFC) is focused on dramatically improving therapies for some of the most difficult-to-treat types of breast cancer. The VBFC is home to a multi-disciplinary team of more than 30 breast cancer physicians and scientists who are engaged in basic, translational, and clinical research. This position presents a unique opportunity to lead the expanding clinical and research community of the VBFC within an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. The IUSCCC is in an exciting growth phase, having increased NCI funding by 47% over the last five years, resulting in Comprehensive designation in 2019. In addition to the IUSCCC’s research strengths, there are ample opportunities for collaboration within the institution including:
The Komen Normal Tissue Bank and IUSCC (https://komentissuebank.iu.edu/) is the world’s only repository of normal breast tissue, now with over 4,700 samples supporting over 140 research projects worldwide.
The Translational Breast Cancer Research Consortium (TBCRC, http://pub.emmes.com/study/bcrc/) is a collaborative group founded in 2005 to conduct innovative and high-impact clinical trials for breast cancer. Collectively, the 19 TBCRC member institutions work together to foster trial development in a collegial environment that enhances cross-institutional collaborations. IUSCC has been among the top three enrolling members for the last two years.
The Hoosier Cancer Research Network (HCRN), is home to over 200 clinical investigators nationwide. The HCRN is an independent clinical trials consortia whose primary focus is on Phase II and III clinical trials. IUSCC serves as the main research base.
The Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium (BTCRC) consists of 14 cancer centers, representing the largest collection of NCI-designated Cancer Centers of all athletic conferences in the country. The BTCRC focuses on early phase collaborative clinical trials.
The Brown Center for Immunotherapy, which houses six GMP rooms and a Clinimacs Prodigy, a Precision Immunology Laboratory Services (PILS) Core with state of the art flow cytometric, CYTOF, and imaging flow cytometry, a mixed use facility including BSL-3 ISO-7 clean rooms for viral vector production and cell manufacturing of allogeneic cell products
The IU School of Medicine’s Precision Health Initiative is a $120 million investment intended to place us at the cutting edge of personalized medicine, biomedical research and healthcare delivery. Triple negative breast cancer is a major pillar of the PHI, including creation of a richly-annotated cohort and development of novel patient-derived xenografts.
The Indiana Collaborative Initiative for Talent Enrichment (INCITE), a $25 million grant from the Lilly Endowment, is a partnership between IU School of Medicine and local, non-academic partners such as the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute, Eli Lilly and Co., Roche, Dow, Cook, BioCrossroads, IU Health and Eskenazi Health to attract top scientists
IUSM is the nation’s largest allopathic medical school with 9 campuses across Indiana. The IUSCCC and the VBFC are located on the school’s main campus in Indianapolis; VBFC researchers are also located at the main IU Campus in Bloomington with robust collaboration with researchers at Purdue University and Notre Dame. The IUSCCC research physicians and scientists include more than 150 members who lead over 300 clinical trials in pediatric and adult cancers.

Specific title: AMPATH Associate Site Director (Hematology-Oncology)
Appointment type: Clinical Track Faculty
Department: IUSM - Medicine - Hematology/Oncology
Campus: IU School of Medicine Indianapolis
Position summary:
Indiana University Center for Global Health and the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSCCC) are seeking a BC/BE subspecialist in Medical Oncology, Hematology-Oncology, Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, Gynecologic Oncology, Radiation Oncology or other suitable oncology subspecialty, to serve as the AMPATH Associate Site Director (Hematology-Oncology) in Eldoret, Kenya.
The Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) is a well-respected international partnership between Moi University (MU) and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), and a group of partner institutions collectively referred to as the AMPATH Consortium, led by Indiana University. AMPATH Oncology has grown to be a successful multi-institutional program led by the IUSCCC that serves the catchment area of western Kenya. More information about AMPATH and the Indiana-Moi partnership can be accessed at www.ampathkenya.org.
The primary goal of this position is to increase the impactful clinical and translational research capacity in Kenya, and to expand the field of global oncology among North American trainees. Job responsibilities of the AMPATH Associate Site Director (Hematology-Oncology) include leading the growth of global research and education advancing screening, prevention, and treatment of cancer, including palliative care. It is expected that the Team Leader will successfully compete for extramural funding within 1-2 years and publish his/her work with an emphasis on bidirectional innovation (i.e., work will advance health equities in Kenya and around the world). Whereas the focus of the Associate Site Director is on research and/or education (including the development and coordination of curricula and the coordination electives for post-graduate trainees), it is expected that he/she will also take part in limited clinical activities. These include assisting the supervision of resident/student oncology consult service at MTRH and attending in at least one weekly outpatient clinic for patients with cancer or blood diseases.
The Associate Site Director will join a team of North American health professionals who work alongside their Kenyan counterparts at MU and MTRH. Current team members include senior, mid-level and junior faculty clinicians in multiple disciplines who serve long-term (one year or more) in Kenya, clinical and implementation science researchers, and multiple short-term volunteers. From time to time, Associate Site Directors may provide temporary back-up for the Executive Field Director.
The Associate Site Director (Hematology-Oncology) position has been designed to give a subspecialist who has recently completely fellowship training the opportunity to have an extended and meaningful professional experience in global oncology. Qualified applicants must have a medical doctorate or equivalent and BC/BE in an oncology-related specialty. The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated individual with exceptionally strong clinical skills, outstanding interpersonal and leadership skills, medical experience in a low or low-middle income country or in a resource-poor setting in a high-income country, a strong commitment to medical education and research, and a passion for delivering cost effective medical care to vulnerable populations. The term of the team leader is one to two years but is renewable.
The AMPATH Associate Site Director (Hematology-Oncology) will directly report to the Director of the IUSCC Center for Global Oncology and Health Equity and will coordinate on ground activities with the Executive Field Director of the AMPATH Consortium and the Director of the IU Center for Global Health. Mentorship for this position will come from senior faculty from the IUSCCC, other faculty from the AMPATH Consortium partnership, and permanent North American senior staff on the ground in Kenya from various departments including Medicine, Pediatrics, Pathology, Palliative Care and Surgery. The Associate Site Director will also be expected to have a clinical or research faculty appointment within the Indiana University School of Medicine with reporting to the appropriate Division/Department Chair.
