The Hematopathology group additionally reviews approximately 10,000 flow cytometry immunophenotyping profiles, 3,800 single-gene molecular diagnostic tests, 4,500 FISH panels, and 4,000 cytogenetics studies for hematologic neoplasms each year. They also participate in multidisciplinary leukemia/lymphoma conferences and are actively engaged in the training and education of fellows, residents, medical students, hematopathology laboratory staff, and students of allied health science programs. The successful candidate with additional molecular board certification or eligibility will share clinical service responsibilities with other molecular genetic pathology faculty who currently review approximately 1,700 targeted NGS panels for hematologic neoplasms and solid tumors each year.
The successful candidate is expected to possess strong diagnostic expertise, excellent interpersonal communication and teaching skills, and a commitment to academic scholarship in hematopathology and, if applicable, in molecular genetic pathology. Eligibility for medical licensure in Georgia is required. The Department offers ample opportunities to pursue clinical, translational, and collaborative research.
