The employment market varies widely and changes rapidly depending on quite a few factors - industry or profession, geography, and employment type being the most significant. At the meta level, many times more retirements are expected in the near future than there will be trained professionals to fill vacant positions left by retirees. Additionally, specialization on the one hand, and convergence on the other, are creating "new" types of opportunities never before seen. Then there is more recently greater emphasis on work-life balance and flexibility, which could drive greater mobility and thus reduced tenure in positions. Add to this, the “new normal” of constantly changing economic conditions, and thus resource availability, which challenge even the most adaptive, organizational staffing structures which seek to match most effectively and efficiently human capital needs with available, opportunities for additional or replacement, skilled talent. In this context, cancer research is a complex and challenging field that requires the expertise of scientists collaborating across myriad disciplines focused on basic, clinical, translational, and population science research related to cancer. Recruiting scientists for cancer research in academic medicine is essential to advance our understanding of cancer across the cancer continuum - from risk and prevention, through improvements in diagnosis and treatment, to survivorship. Universities provide an environment that fosters innovation and creativity, which is essential for this kind of scientific breakthrough. Academic investigators must have access to state-of-the-art equipment, facilities, and resources to enable discovery forged from cutting-edge research. Additionally, higher education institutions must offer unfettered opportunity for collaboration with other researchers nationally as well as across the globe, with access to funding sources to support research projects, and to publications for disseminating results of research. By recruiting scientists for cancer research and leadership in academic healthcare, we can ensure that we will have some of the most brilliant minds focused on how we can live better with cancer.My professional role to address this is to identify and recruit the best and the brightest professional, technical, and executive talent to “fit” organizational needs for scientific discovery, leadership, and service roles to support critical, strategic mission accomplishment in academic medicine, in healthcare, and at higher education institutions more generally.
Listed skills include Leadership, Recruiting, Career Counseling, Strategy, and 46 others.
