The Houston Methodist is ranked the No 1. Hospital in Texas and nationally ranked in ten adult specialties per U.S. News and World Report, 2022. Houston Methodist Cancer Care (HMCC) is an established Center of Excellence noted for its distinction in clinical care, research, and academics. It consists of 60,000 square feet of clinical facilities dedicated for the comprehensive management and care of cancer patients. Adjacent to the HMCC facilities lies the Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI). HMRI was formed in 2004 with one mandate: to rapidly and efficiently translate discoveries made in the laboratory into new diagnostics and therapeutics. HMRI has dedicated research space embedded throughout the campus, with a 440,000-square-foot research building that provides the technology and facilities needed to support all stages of research, product development, and clinical trials to benefit patients around the world. HMRI includes laboratory space to house over 1500 staff and trainees, 277 principal investigators, and more than 250 ongoing clinical trials. Over 20 core facilities enhance interdisciplinary research, including two Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facilities which provide capabilities to create clinical-grade radiopharmaceuticals, biological agents, nanoparticles and devices. HMRI houses preclinical GLP support, state-of-the-art imaging equipment for preclinical and clinical studies, and the Methodist Institute for Training, Innovation and Education (MITIE), a surgical simulation and procedural skills training facility. 

Primary appointment for this position will be in HMRI and the Houston Methodist Academic Institute, with a potential appointment at Weill Cornell Medical College upon additional approval.
