Hematopathologist

HEMATOPATHOLOGIST FACULTY MEMBER JOB DESCRIPTION The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center invites applications for a Board Certified/Board Eligible Hematopathologist at the Assistant, Associate, or Professor level. Applicants must be eligible for a California medical license. The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is an academic department consisting of divisions of Anatomic, Clinical, Translational, and Experimental Pathology, with 55 faculty members overseeing a clinical operation of more than 9 million laboratory tests and approximately 75,000 surgical pathology cases annually.

The department supports a robust educational mission with 25 residents and fellows, including accredited hematopathology, molecular genetic pathology, surgical pathology, and clinical pathology fellowship programs. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center faculty are deeply committed to graduate medical education, translational research, innovation, and multidisciplinary clinical care and are part of one of the nation’s leading academic healthcare systems with 92 ACGME-accredited GME programs.

Faculty members participate broadly in institutional leadership, multidisciplinary tumor boards, clinical and translational research initiatives, pathology informatics efforts, and national professional organizations. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a 900-bed quaternary referral center and Level I trauma center located at the junction of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

Cedars-Sinai is the largest private not-for-profit healthcare provider on the West Coast, serving more than 9 million people across Los Angeles County and the surrounding region. The institution is nationally recognized for excellence in patient care, biomedical research, precision medicine, and innovation in healthcare delivery.

Beverly Pathology is an independently contracted private pathology group within the Cedars-Sinai Health System Foundation that provides exclusive pathology services to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital. The Hematopathology Division is a highly collaborative and rapidly evolving academic subspecialty practice with a strong commitment to clinical excellence, education, innovation, and translational research.

The division has recently expanded through strategic faculty recruitment encompassing expertise in clinical hematopathology, pediatric hematopathology, molecular diagnostics, physician-scientist research, medical education, and laboratory operations. The hematopathology service provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of a broad spectrum of benign and malignant hematologic disorders and supports large oncology and cellular therapy programs, including active stem cell transplantation and CAR-T therapy services.

Hematopathology operates with state-of-the-art facilities and advanced integrated diagnostics, including 5-laser spectral flow cytometry platforms, an expansive immunohistochemistry menu, comprehensive molecular and cytogenetic testing capabilities, broad next-generation sequencing panels, quantitative PCR testing, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), conventional karyotyping, and a broad menu of specialty coagulation testing with pathologist-interpreted integrated reports.

The division is actively engaged in implementation of integrated digital and informatics-based workflows, including large-scale Epic Beaker deployment and emerging machine learning applications in flow cytometry. The successful candidate should possess strong diagnostic expertise in hematopathology and will join an experienced and collegial team practice.

Responsibilities include

sign-out of a broad array of hematopathology specimens, including bone marrow biopsies, lymph nodes, extranodal lymphoma evaluations, flow cytometry, peripheral blood smear review, and coagulation panel interpretation; participation in multidisciplinary conferences and tumor boards; teaching of residents, fellows, medical students, and laboratory trainees; development of scholarly activity in an area of interest; and mission-relevant administrative and institutional service activities that contribute to continued growth of the division, department, and institution.

Opportunities exist for candidates interested in translational research, pathology informatics, digital pathology, educational innovation, and clinical operations leadership.
