Recruitment of a translational researcher for leukemia

描述（申请人提供）： 华盛顿大学血液学系的主要目标是招募和支持 医生/科学家，以促进我们的双向转化研究的使命。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，以协调急性白血病的临床和临床研究工作，确保将科学问题纳入临床研究，并将整个实验室研究范围内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个额外的成员，他特别专注于翻译工作，他的实验室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）的医学/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、UW/FHCRC癌症联盟的成员以及干细胞和再生医学研究所的成员，并将有权使用这些研究中心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翼提供实验室空间，超过通常提供给开始助理教授的空间。我们要求技术人员，设备，用品和0.60 FTE的新兵的支持 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来自他/她的赠款资金）。该司将承诺在第3年和第4年的工资和支持，以确保他/她正在进行的研究取得成功。我致力于确保一个优秀的导师计划，将满足每月与此招聘，并将结构正式导师博士埃斯蒂（临床试验），一个翻译研究员，和一个基础科学家（将根据选定的个人的研究兴趣确定）。这个教师职位已经得到医学部（DOM）的批准。由于遴选委员会已经到位，我们认为在2009年9月30日之前完成遴选过程并启动这一任命没有任何障碍。还确定了一名主要候选人。这次招聘与DOM和SOM在培养医生/科学家方面的兴趣有关，血液学部门在这一领域的主要重点以及SOM促进跨学科研究的兴趣。这个应用程序被选为一个前进的NCI考虑从华盛顿大学。

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.
