Founding Director of Research in Health Care Delivery Transformation
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Salt Lake City, UT, United States
Overview
The Opportunity: Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, seeks a
Founding Director of Research in Health Care Delivery Transformation
at its new
Vineyard Campus .
This visionary leader will build and direct a new research program focused on redesigning cancer care delivery through
health services research, implementation science, digital health, and AI-enabled innovation , with particular emphasis on improving access for rural, frontier, and underserved populations. The Director will develop a robust federally funded research portfolio, collaborate closely with HCI and University of Utah clinical and research leaders, and serve as
Research Director for HCI’s Innovative Medical Practices Advancing Care Transformation (IMPACT) Center .
Vineyard Campus The new HCI center in Vineyard has been supported by the state of Utah and extraordinary philanthropic contributions. HCI Vineyard will provide key access to patients in central and southern Utah, and exciting opportunities for new collaborations with nearby academic and entrepreneurial partners, including Brigham Young University, an educational leader in computational methods, Utah Valley University, and many technology/AI companies (Silicon Slopes). The new HCI Vineyard Campus will implement HCI’s top clinical trial portfolio and house national cancer research leaders.
The Vineyard Campus is HCI’s first major expansion beyond Salt Lake City and will serve as a hub for innovation in cancer care and research. In its first phase, the campus will advance four key areas:
Health Care Transformation
– redesigning cancer care delivery to improve access over distance, quality, efficiency, and patient experience.
AI, Data Science & Digital Oncology
– leveraging technology for innovative discovery research, and/or to serve communities and patients through innovation, overcome distance as a barrier, and enable precision prevention and treatment.
Innovation in Clinical Trials
– providing state-of-the-art oncology care and increasing access for rural and underserved populations.
Community Outreach & Engagement
– partnering with communities across the Mountain West to close gaps in prevention, screening, and survivorship.
These four areas are designed to work in concert, creating a powerful ecosystem where innovations in one area fuel progress in others. Together, this synergy will enable Vineyard to pioneer new models that deliver a cancer free frontier across the Mountain West.
What We Offer
A collaborative, mission-oriented academic environment where faculty work across disciplines to solve the most pressing challenges in cancer care. The successful candidate will thrive in this environment, building bridges between clinical, research, and community teams to deliver measurable impact.
Access to rich datasets and advanced computational infrastructure, with a new $50 million pledge to advance AI for cancer research.
Synergy with Scientific Computing Institute (SCI), the Data Exploration and Learning for Precision Health Intelligence (DELPHI), Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI), and other University initiatives.
Strategic partnerships with federal agencies and regional health systems.
Competitive compensation and benefits.
Leadership support to establish a nationally recognized center of excellence in AI and cancer care delivery.
