The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of the Weill Medical College of Cornell University is seeking three academic surgical pathologists for full-time appointments at the Assistant, Associate, or Professorial level.These recruitments are sought to permit the department to handle an expanding anatomic pathology case volume and to expand its academic programs in the subspecialty areas of dermatopathology, gastrointestinal pathology, gynecologic pathology and uropathology.
Successful candidates should possess strong diagnostic skills, be capable of participating in the service responsibilities of a large, busy and demanding anatomic pathology service, have a strong commitment to an academic career and to publishing original papers in their chosen area of subspecialization, and be similarly committed to resident education and medical student teaching. Established diagnostic expertise in an area of subspecialization, a record of scholarly publications and experience in translational research and molecular pathology is highly desirable. Board certification in anatomic pathology and eligibility for unrestricted medical licensure in New York State is required. Academic rank and compensation will be commensurate with the level of experience and scholarly accomplishments.
The Anatomic Pathology Division is composed of 25 anatomic pathologists currently handling an annual volume of 45,000 surgical specimens, 125 post-mortem examinations, 35,000 cytological specimens, and 3,900 fine needle aspirations. The anatomic pathology service is partially subspecialized so as to permit members of the faculty to maintain broad exposure to most organ systems while expanding their diagnostic expertise and scholarly accomplishments in an area of subspecialization. The anatomic pathology facilities are thoroughly modern. All faculty offices, sign-out rooms, conference rooms, the housestaff/fellows room and most laboratory facilities have been completely renovated during the past five years. The anatomic pathology faculty is supported by a full service Immunopathology Laboratory for clinical research and modern graphics facilities. Excellent collaborative research opportunities exist with the recently expanded Molecular Pathology Laboratory and with the numerous independent research laboratories within the Department, the Weill-Cornell Medical College and at our neighboring institutions, Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan -Kettering Cancer Center.
