About The Position

We are expanding our advanced oncology services with the development of a comprehensive Cellular Therapy and Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Program—a critical step in strengthening our institutional readiness for National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation. As a key clinical leader in this growth, the Nurse Practitioner (NP) will play an essential role in building the clinical infrastructure, patient care continuity, and multidisciplinary coordination required for a mature academic cancer program. High-quality hematopoietic stem cell transplantation services are a cornerstone of NCI‑designated cancer centers. This role directly supports program excellence by ensuring continuity of care, strengthening clinical depth, and advancing the patient experience across the entire transplant journey. The Nurse Practitioner will serve as a dedicated provider within the Cellular Therapy/BMT service line, delivering highly specialized care across a complex continuum—from pre‑transplant evaluation through long‑term survivorship. The NP will collaborate closely with transplant physicians, infusion teams, research staff, and multidisciplinary clinical partners to ensure safe, coordinated, and evidence‑based care for all BMT and cellular therapy patients.
