Clinical investigators are expected to spend 80% time performing and directing research at the Koch Institute of MIT and 20% time at a Boston area hospital where they have a clinical appointment and practice in a cancer-related clinical specialty.  Will also be responsible for organizing the Koch Institute Clinical Oncology seminar series and for helping MIT build the bridge between basic cancer research and the clinical care of patients.
