The Division of Hematology, Oncology, Transplant, and Cellular Therapy within the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is recruiting a Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy (SCTCT) Physician. We are looking for candidates with a track record of clinical excellence and academic contributions as demonstrated through training and/or practice experience in caring for patients undergoing stem cell transplantation and other cellular therapies like CAR T therapy. Special consideration will be made for candidates interested in neuroblastoma, survivorship, and/or bone marrow failure. Provision of clinical care, teaching, and execution of scholarly activities is expected on the CHS track.

The Division of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, Transplant, and Cellular Therapy is located in the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research building next to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Its experts are active in the UW Carbone Cancer Center, Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center, Program for Advanced Cell Therapy (a GMP facility dedicated to supporting UW faculty projects), and Wisconsin Blood Cancer Research Institute. Division members participate in numerous research consortia including the COG, PTCTC, PIDTC, MARCH, NEXT, POETIC, and St. Baldrick's Empowering Pediatric Immunotherapies for Childhood Cancer Team. We encourage translation of laboratory research into clinical trials at the adjacent American Family Children's Hospital, which has been ranked as one of the Top 50 Pediatric Cancer programs nationally by U.S. News and World Report. Our SCTCT program includes a hematopoietic cell processing facility that has been FACT accredited since 2001, and it conducts novel investigator-initiated therapeutic trials such as using alpha/beta T cell depleted haploidentical transplantation for the treatment of relapsed pediatric solid tumors. In addition, we are a certified Kymriah treatment center and participate in a number of consortium and industry-sponsored cell therapy trials. Our faculty are also developing institutional cell therapy trials including CAR T cells for solid tumors and ex vivo activated/expanded NK cells.

The Department of Pediatrics is a vibrant academic department comprising more than 200 faculty members in 16 subspecialty divisions. The department promotes and enhances the health of children through outstanding clinical care, exemplary education of pediatric trainees, performance of cutting-edge research, and vigorous advocacy. Our faculty enjoy a robust infrastructure of services as well as the opportunity to contribute to our world-class $40.3M research portfolio - since 2015, the Department of Pediatrics has ranked among the Top 20 pediatrics departments receiving NIH funding, according to Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research.
