Recruitment of a translational researcher for leukemia

描述(由申请人提供)： 华盛顿大学血液科的主要目标是招募和支持 医生/科学家为我们的双向翻译研究任务提供便利。医学/血液学教授Eli Estey博士组织了一个白血病研究小组来协助这些工作。每周约有15名基础科学和临床研究人员开会，协调急性白血病的临床和临床研究工作，确保将科学问题整合到临床研究中，并将整个试验台研究的研究人员与结果分析联系起来。我们正在为这个跨学科小组寻找一名特别专注于翻译工作的额外成员，他的工作台研究将立即转化为临床研究。此人将被任命为华盛顿大学(UW)医学/血液学助理教授、弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心(FHCRC)的助理成员、华盛顿大学/FHCRC癌症联盟的成员以及干细胞和再生医学研究所的成员，并将完全访问这些地点的所有核心和其他设施。华盛顿大学医学院(SOM)将在健康科学大楼的K翼投入超过通常提供给初级助理教授的实验室空间。我们请求为技术人员、设备、用品和0.60 FTE的新兵提供支持 工资(我们预计0.15 FTE将来自临床基金以支持临床承诺，0.25 FTE来自他/她的赠款资金)。该司将承诺在第三年和第四年提供工资和支助，以确保他/她继续取得研究成功。我致力于确保一个优秀的导师计划，将每月与这名新人会面，并将由翻译研究员Estey博士和基础科学家(根据选定的个人的研究兴趣确定)建立正式的导师关系。这个教员职位已经得到了医学部(DOM)的批准。由于遴选委员会已经成立，我们认为在2009年9月30日之前完成遴选过程和启动这一任命没有任何障碍。一位领先的候选人也已经确定。此次招聘涉及DOM和SOM在培养医生/科学家方面的兴趣，血液科在该领域的主要重点，以及SOM促进跨学科研究的兴趣。这份申请被选为华盛顿大学NCI考虑的申请之一。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by the applicant): The major goal of the Division of Hematology at the University of Washington is to recruit and support Physician/scientists to facilitate our mission of bi-directional translational research. Dr. Eli Estey, Professor of Medicine/Hematology, has organized a Leukemia research group to assist these efforts. Approximately 15 basic science and clinical investigators meet each week to coordinate clinical and clinical research efforts in acute leukemia, assure the integration of scientific questions into clinical investigation, and link investigators throughout the spectrum of bench research to outcomes analyses. We are looking for an additional member for this interdisciplinary group who is especially focused on translational efforts and whose bench research would be immediately translatable into clinical studies. This person would have appointments as an Assistant Professor of Medicine/Hematology at the University of Washington (UW), an Assistant Member of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC), a member of the UW/FHCRC Cancer Consortium, and a member of the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, and would have full access to all core and other facilities at these sites. The University of Washington School of Medicine (SOM) will commit laboratory space in the K-wing of the Health Sciences Building in excess of that typically provided to beginning Assistant Professors. We request support for technicians, equipment, supplies, and 0.60 FTE of the recruit's salary (we anticipate that 0.15 FTE will derive from clinical funds to support clinical commitments and 0.25 from his/her grant funding). The Division will commit to salary and support in years 3 and 4 to assure his/her ongoing research success. I am committed to assuring an excellent mentorship program, would meet monthly with this recruit, and would structure formal mentorship by Dr. Estey (clinical trials), a translational researcher, and a basic scientist (to be determined based on the selected individual's research interest). This faculty slot has already been approved by the Department of Medicine (DOM). Since a search committee is in place, we see no obstacle to completing the selection process and initiating this appointment by September 30, 2009. A lead candidate has also been identified. This recruitment is related to the DOM and SOM's interests in developing physician/scientists, the Division of Hematology's major focus in this domain and the SOM's interest of promoting interdisciplinary research. This application was selected as the one to go forward for NCI consideration from the University of Washington.
